The Relect keeps the fog away

If you’re a guy who shaves in the shower, you no doubt know the frustration of trying to keep your shaving mirror fog-free. In some bathrooms, even just the installation of such a mirror can be tricky, as can positioning yourself to use it. Squarely addressing these conundrums is the Reflect, a combination showerhead and non-fogging mirror.

The Reflect has a flat, square reflective front surface. The top part acts as the mirror, while the water sprays out of five rows of holes in the bottom. To get to those holes, the hot water has to first travel through the top section, thus warming it up and keeping condensation from forming. It’s actually quite a clever idea, enough so that the product has won a bronze Spark design award, and was a finalist in this year’s International Design Excellence Awards.

The Reflect will reportedly be available later this month, at a price of US$295. It will be interesting to see what people think of its rectangular spray pattern, once it hits the stores.

The MetroNaps EnergyPod solves a contemporary problem: most work spaces do not offer their employees a place to rejuvenate. The result is that people seek rest in places not intended for it: at their desk, in a conference room, a parked car or even the bathroom.

Based on years of research and thousands of design hours, the MetroNaps EnergyPod is the perfect place to quickly and effectively enhance your energy. Designed to be installed almost anywhere, the EnergyPod is a self-contained productivity device.

Key features include:

Ergonomic Perfection

The contour of the EnergyPod takes pressure off the cardiac system with the elevation of the feet and relaxes the muscles of the back with a slight bend in the knees.

Comfortable Privacy

The EnergyPod’s sphere provides semi-privacy without overly enclosing.

Soothing Sounds

A built-in music player with headphone jack helps eliminate surrounding distractions

Gentle Waking

A timer found in the arm rest prevents overnapping and wakes the user gently with a combination of lights and vibration.
