They could make fabulous seating areas, baths, showers etc. Very exciting idea and I love the fact that they just went out and started their own factory.

Its looks like the difference is that the curving tiles as now available as a commercial product whereas the Droog Function Tiles project (1997?) was either entirely conceptual prototype or partly prototype (I've been to the store in Amsterdam and I think you buy parts of it individually, perhaps the tissue dispenser and gas connection tiles). I guess Droog couldn't help them develop the curved tiles so they went and did it themselves, good on 'em. Its quite an old project actually, perhaps they had some legal issues. More worrying to me is how armchair critics are so quick to shout "theft!" without even knowing what they are talking about :/ Its the same designers, and more or less the same project.

Not sure if they nicked it, but it certainly isn't the first tile system to address those functions.... Thinking the same thing – thought it was the Droog system.
