Design Troll Musings #2: The Easy Drain Dot

The shower is one place where we can get away from it all. You just let that hot water wash over you while ignoring your ringing phone, the sirens outside, the neighbor banging on your door and that strong burning smell coming from the kitchen.

But for me the escapism is not enough. See, I don’t just want to feel like this in the shower:

I want to feel like this.

I want to feel like I am literally teleporting to another planet as I wash my sins away. But I can’t because I look down and see my stupid average shower drain, and I know I’m in my shower, not a Star Trek Teleporter.

Well, help is here from a company called Easy Drain. Their Easy Drain Dot is a huge white circle that you could swear Spock’s feet have been on. 

And just look at how easy is it to install:

And I mean, cutting those eight triangular tiles intersected by an arc should be a breeze on your average tile saw, right?

Added bonus: As far as I can tell, this system makes it completely impossible to remove hair that clogs up in the trap. I think after a couple of years the drain will look like Chewbacca trying to come out of a manhole.

Also comes in orange.
