Eco-Drop Shower - Holding your feet hostage to conservation...

The good news: A good, long, hot shower feels great.

The bad news: A good, long, hot shower wastes more and more water and energy the longer it goes.

Since we humans are lousy at delaying gratification in order to make things better down the road, this design makes the gratification much less... gratifying. The Eco-Drop Shower from designer Tommaso Colia on I New Idea features a floor which becomes progressively less comfortable as the shower goes on. See those little rings on the floor in the rendering? They get deeper, more treacherous, and less comfy when you get greedy with the agua. The world - and anyone else sharing your water heater - will thank you!
