The portfolio of designer Yeong-Kyu Yoo, also recognized as Cloud and Co, showcases a plethora of exquisitely crafted items, each exuding a delightful softness characterized by gentle curves. Yoo appears to aim at stimulating our sensory inclinations, whether crafting a storage device, a light fixture, or a humidifier. This focus on sensory appeal is evident in Yoo’s vision for the AI-enhanced AquaIntelli shower, underscoring the suitability of his unique design approach for a shower concept.
The AquaIntelli represents a jet spa tub with an added technological dimension that elegantly molds around its contours, inviting bathers to immerse themselves fully in the water. Through its AI-driven system, the tub adapts to the specific preferences of its users over time, enhancing the jet water massage experience for a more immersive and soothing bath.
The tub’s luxurious features can be effortlessly activated or deactivated using a discreet flush-mounted push button control interface.
In addition to its prowess in hydrotherapy, AquaIntelli’s AI technology can swiftly adjust temperature, water level, and jet intensity to cater to the bather’s preferences.
Users familiar with Nestthermostat will appreciate the modern and tactile interface of the waterproof digital display dial-button knob incorporated into AquaIntelli. Yoo has equipped the AquaIntelli with a corresponding mobile application alongside physical controls, offering users the convenience of preparing a bath remotely even before entering the bathroom.
While the advanced AI capabilities of AquaIntelli are intriguing, it is Yoo’s emphasis on tailoring its functionality towards relaxation that instills hope for the concept’s viability in real-world applications.
