The humble showerhead has gone far too long without a redesign. One might say the redesign proved to be elusive. You know what else is elusive? Squids! Yes. That sure was one ridiculous segueway.
UK company Vado has released a powerful new showerhead that takes it’s inspiration directly from the giant squid of lore. The unit features six flexible tentacles that can be pointed anywhere you want. It’s like having your very own giant squid slave that you’ve, um, filled with an endless supply of water. Ok. Logistics aside, that sounds like a mighty fine idea. The unit is not yet available and no pricing has been released.
