Thinking about users' habits, the top two layers can be used as small places on which people can put some items needed to take off while washing, such as glasses, watches. 

Face to the future life, technological innovation has changed the former way of communication between products and users. BRIZO Nourish doesn’t have a traditional switch, but it still can be more freely adjusted the amount of water and temperature.
