Touchy Feely, a Berlin based design consultancy have crafted the perfect solution.
Designed to provoke curiosity and physical interaction with the built environment 'Sensory conversations' is a concept based on interactive bathroom tiling.
According to Touchy Feely the ‘Trigger Point Mouldings’ are rounded fibrous plaster forms that can be integrated into a wall surface. As suggestive protrusions, the mouldings encourage heightened, physical interactions between bodies and architectural surfaces, and suggest that buildings can perform, or intimate towards the necessary work of massage therapists. Heating elements inserted into the backs of the plaster protrusions warm the forms to body temperature and assist in muscle tension relief. As warmed wall areas, the protrusions create a gentle threshold between body and building. “
