If you’re the type to go for a run with a credit card and ID stuffed in your pocket and a reusable bag folded in your hand, we can deduce that all-in-one designs are right up your alley. With the Totem Shower by the Italian-based company known as the Emme Group, your shower and sink function upon the same, small footprint.

The Dual-Functioning Sink and Shower System: The Totem Shower by the Emme Group

Just as Treehugger’s write-up on the Totem questions our societal desire to cover up plumbing, I am in agreement: who would rather have another beige wall? Especially when a unit like the Totem Shower comes into play with its glossy, matching configuration that includes a sink, shower, and mirror. Not to mention its ability to create actual space in a small apartment unit.

What’s pretty amazing is that the Emme Group is an Italian company that does not focus on shower units. Instead, they make mostly what are called Bongo Barbeques that are designed to look like bongo drums except with professional and luxury components that make them portable pods for cooking.

Clearly a green way to design out your bathroom space, the Totem Shower by the Emme Group pulls together the necessities of water and washing with the feel of a larger space to enjoy the experience.

About the company: Emme Group has thirty years of experience in furnishings and is now doing new, innovative projects for both internal and external use. This includes kitchens – like the Trolley and Bongo models, grills and steak tops, as well as stainless steel furniture and bathroom units.
