Sylwia Ulicka Rivera has designed a flexible and space-saving bathtub meant for those living in cramped quarters. The Bathboard is made from "foam rubber treated to be very elastic, sponge-like material which is light soft and flexible." The tub is designed to fold into the wall when not in use.
When in use, the tub takes the shape of the amount of water poured into it. The Bathboard is designed to help save water as it is designed to be only as big as need be. The drain pipe of the Bathboard has a flexible design and can bend and contract to match the many different forms the tub takes.
