Space Bathing
A bathing garment and experience cabin designed to address personal hygiene in space. The project draws on the physical properties of water’s surface tension in microgravity, bringing clothing design, structure and materials together in an interdisciplinary design exploration.
Designing around microgravity
Developed during the International Art & Design Interdisciplinary Workshop in 2021, the project takes the challenge of self-cleaning in space as its starting point. The team created a bathing robe specifically for a microgravity setting, using water’s surface-tension properties to inform the garment and combining clothing design with material technology. An experience cabin accompanies the robe.
Role and design outcome
I was a core team member on the bathing-robe and experience-cabin design. The project combined structural and material design, and the team successfully submitted a utility-model patent application for the resulting design.
