Connexion
Connexion is a community based hot tub design that is dual-purpose, provides the functionality of both dry hydromassage and hot tub. It will reshape the ways in which we relax and define ‘hot tub’, and helps to have a more dynamic communication throughout the experience.
Dry Hydromassage
Instead of being immersed in water, the inner massage chair itself contains a water-filled mattress and jets so that you can feel both the heat and pressure without having to get undressed.
Digital Control Panel
Reach to the control panel and twist the timer to the desired length of treatment and then select the desired massage intensity, which part of body and what types of massage techniques.
X Communication
The arrangement of seating also maximizes the efficiency and diversity of communication. People not only just seat next to each other. It explores the possibility of hot tub as a more public product for wider range of users.
Cover Design
The double layered vacuum insulated cover are perfect to keep the temperature inside. It has two layers of glass, an inner wall and an outer wall with a thin layer of air between the two layers to prevent the transfer of hot and cold temperatures.

100%
100% is a wellness focused hot tub that emphasizes on back therapy and in water exercise. If there is one theme that everyone pursues, it’s the completion and perfection between work and life. While we living to the fullest, 100% takes care of our physical and mental health.
Bridge Structure
In between the two sections of seats there is a bridge structure to coincide with people’s activities, as a table to place tea sets or phones, without cutting off the water flow. We explored how daily habits can transform the way we use hot tub and merge with hydromassage.
In Water Exercise
Working out in water dials down the impact of moves without decreasing their ability to sculpt your body or help you burn calories because water serves as a form of resistance. There are handles embedded under surface that you can pull out when in use.
