The shower takes a giant leap

How the project came about

The idea and the patent came about when the inventor decided to apply an existing principle to a shower head.

The discovery was based on using the pressure of a water jet to make the brushes of the shower head rotate, via a series of internal mechanisms, to produce a hydromassage effect. During the development of the design, the rotating brushes became interchangeable with rotating soaps and pumice stones, making this very much a multi-function invention.

Our input

A company operating in the shower sector added the discovery to our database. Following an analysis of the market, the decision was taken to invest directly in the product. We dealt with the marketing, distribution and communication aspects. Success was not long in coming, and in next to no time the product had sold one million units.

In 1995, our input came to an end.

 

Why was it successful?

The product was successful because it made it possible, thanks to the rotating brushes, to massage the body directly. This also made it beneficial in terms of cellulite. Moreover, the product enabled the use of accessories such as soap and pumice, which are activated by the pressure of the water.
