At Swissbau 2012 in Basel, January 2012, German bathroom fittings manufacturer Dornbracht presented a groundbreaking application of its shower technology.

The Horizontal Shower includes the company’s Ambiance Tuning Technique technology,

With this new technology, Dornbracht says it is “expanding the vertical showering experience” as “the addition of a horizontal counterpart fulfils the longing for natural elements and a natural water experience” - meaning that for the first time, its shower technology can be enjoyed lying down.

They say the user can enjoy the Horizontal Shower lying on his or her stomach or back. It was designed to be used both in private and public spas.
