14 2016 RocaConcepts Hong Kong exhibits “The bathroom. A historical retrospective” The exhibition returns to Asia with two additional pieces “The bathroom. A historical retrospective” returned to Asia, this time to Hong Kong, where it could be visited at the RocaConcept showroom. The show, organized by RocaConcepts, took visitors on an educational journey via a range of bathroom furniture from different epochs, reflecting the evolution of hygiene and the culture of bathing in society, from the 18thcentury to the present day. This original display, covering 200 years of history, shows a number of interesting designs and historical pieces, such as the toilet in the form of a dolphin which belonged to the Empress Elisabeth de Wittelsbach, better known as Sissi, and one of the first bidets, manufactured in the 17 Century in France and once described as a “violin case with legs”. The exhibition included two new pieces: a toilet from the beginning of the 19thcentury which is hidden in a square structure looking like a pile of books, and the 1904 Nautilus model, where design is already evident as an important element of added value. The ceramic toilet is exuberantly decorated with elements inspired by Jules Verne’s work, 20,000 leagues under the sea. The Nautilus and Dolphin were two of the pieces exhibited at the exhibition, the latter once belonging to Empress Sissi.
