We wrote about hi-tech bathroom trends a few times in the past but nothing we have ever mentioned comes close to Smarthydro bathtub. The striking harmony of it’s acrilyc body, glass side panels and aluminum arms won this tub instant international recognition. It scooped the IF Design and Red Dot Design awards even before being released to the market.

Being much more than it may seem at first sight, this beautiful modern tub has more to boast than just it’s fantastic appearance. It’s completely automated! Every aspect of it’s use can be controlled remotely. Be it from the control panel next to your bed, when you want a warm morning bath, or maybe your office, as you are getting ready to head home after a long day, Smarthydro will take your instructions and prepare the bath to your desires. Being able to be controlled remotely, via internet, allows this tub to respond to commands typed on your cellphone or your PDA where ever you might be. It also has a water temperature control system which will keep the water at a set temperature for hours if needed. Equipped with 9 programmable massage jets, a computer controled foam and essence release systems and a self cleaning system, this bathtub is the epitome of modern bathroom appliances. Unfortunately it doesn’t make coffee and cook dinner (yet).
