Jump into the character of Rose or Jack from one of the world's most famous love stories by hopping into a steaming shower shielded by the Titanic Shower Curtain. The sinking ship-inspired design by Jan Habraken displays the top two windows of a boat as clear of water, a third window as half-full and the last window as completely submerged.
One can peer through the clear windows, which are made using a transparent plastic as if he or she were actually a passenger on the descending vessel. The windows are also slanted to give the illusion that your shower is sinking into the depths of the ocean; hopefully the water in your shower is a little warmer than the icy Atlantic Ocean.
