Rebuild & ReclaimDedicated Pod Compartment
A compartment shaped to hold a square R&R solid shampoo pod.
Concept in development
R&R Shower Innovation
The Shower Head Made for the Pod.
A specialist shower head concept with a dedicated compartment for the square R&R solid shampoo pod.
Unscrew the front cap, place the pod inside and turn on the water. The design is intended to let water pass over the pod, gradually dissolving it and carrying the shampoo solution out through the outlet holes.
Design Directions
Exploring Finishes and Forms
Concept renders exploring how the shower head could look in different finishes and fittings. The final design, materials and hose configuration have not been decided.

How It Works
Three Steps to a Pod-Powered Shower
How the concept is intended to work. Subject to development and testing.
- Step 01
Insert the Pod
Unscrew the front cap, place a square R&R solid shampoo pod into the compartment, then screw the cap back on.
- Step 02
Activate With Water
Turn on the shower. Water is designed to pass over the pod, gradually dissolving it and flowing out through the outlet holes.
- Step 03
Clean the Compartment
Unscrew the cap to rinse the compartment and remove any remaining residue as part of regular cleaning.

Development & Testing
What Still Needs to Be Proven
Before the concept can progress, prototypes will need to be designed and tested. These are the key questions, not results.
To be tested
Dissolution
How quickly and evenly does the pod dissolve under different water temperatures and flow rates?
To be tested
Water Flow
Does the compartment change water pressure or the spray pattern compared with a standard head?
To be tested
Residue
Does any residue build up inside the compartment or on the outlet face over time?
To be tested
Blockage
Can undissolved material or residue block the outlet holes, and how can the design prevent it?
To be tested
Cleaning
How easily can users open, rinse and maintain the compartment and cap?
