The “OneSelf” is a suite of bathroom gadgets that’s hidden behind a wall of panels, but pulls out for use. Designer Pavel created the OneSelf as a bathroom for people living alone, which would work just fine, but the idea falls flat when guests may come over. Still, it’s a unique space saving design that could be incorporated in a less public fashion.
