designer's own words:

Many people stopped taking a bath in favor for a shower to save water. I always loved taking a bath but felt guilty about the consumption. By adding volume to your tub the amount of water used can be drastically reduced without radically changing behavior. Water displacement objects enable people to take a full bath with 50% less water. It is a simple product made out of post consumer waste. I unconsciously collected stones at the beach that are just beautiful shaped by nature. 3D scanning them allowed me to manifest their form in a prototype.
