"Bathrooms: A Journey Through Time and Space" Step into the world of bathrooms, where stationary meets luxury at the Hotel Royal Grande Bretagne in Florence, Italy. With its opulent decor and exquisite amenities, this hotel takes bathroom experiences to new heights. At the Savoy Hotel, a new facade has been unveiled with small windows that are none other than modern bathrooms. The article by George R Sims highlights this unique feature as part of The Savoy Extension - a world record in architectural innovation. In 1945, prefabricated aluminum homes revolutionized living spaces, including bathrooms. These sleek designs brought convenience and style to post-war households around the globe. Venturing into Amboseli Park in Kenya, Africa, we witness a family of elephants enjoying their natural surroundings. Even these majestic creatures understand the importance of finding solace in nature's own "bathroom. " Artistic expressions capture intimate moments within bathroom settings throughout history. From "The Little Dressing Room" drypoint print on Japanese paper from 1879-80 to "In front of the Mirror, " an oil painting circa 1890 - these artworks depict personal rituals and self-reflection. Whether it's a woman freshening up or preparing for her day on Sunday morning, our daily routines often begin with rejuvenation in our private sanctuaries - our very own bathrooms. Even during times of conflict like World War I when French prisoners were held captive near Berlin or through Pablo Picasso's provocative nude facing a mirror painting from 1912 - glimpses into personal grooming rituals remind us that humanity persists even amidst adversity. From historical lithographs showcasing women performing their toilette with maid assistance to Henri Matisse's vibrant depiction titled "Three Women at Their Bath" painted in 1929 - these works celebrate femininity and self-care practices across cultures and eras. They have evolved beyond mere functionality; they have become spaces for relaxation, self-expression, and personal growth.
