Short description
Okbaby , in collaboration with Desall, is looking for innovative ideas for a foldable baby bathtub that is safe, functional, and easy to carry, designed for infants aged 0–12 months.
The item must be capable of minimizing its overall dimensions once stored, and easy to open and close with a single, intuitive motion, without requiring any assembly.
The aim is to develop an innovative, contemporary design, portable, safe, and functional product that can be manufactured at a competitive cost and without the use of injection molds.
The bathtub should feature a clean, essential, and contemporary style, with forms and volumes free from elements potentially hazardous for this type of product. The aesthetic language should convey reliability, ease of use, visual quality, and a clear perception of safety and stability.
The bathtub must provide adequate space for bathing infants aged 0–12 months, while remaining compact when folded, lightweight, and easy to carry.
Indicative open dimensions should be 60 L × 40 W × 20 H (cm).
The bathtub must be manufactured using industrial production technologies with low/contained costs. The use of injection molding is not permitted. Construction solutions should prioritize strength and durability, ensuring precision and reliability in folding areas.
Innovative materials are allowed if appropriate for the product. Inflatable materials are not allowed.
Materials must:
➜ Be suitable for industrial production processes.
➜ Be safe for contact with babies’ skin.
➜ Be water-resistant and waterproof.
Participants may submit one or more projects.
Judging criteria:
➜ Degree of Innovation
➜ Aesthetic Quality
➜ Functionality
➜ Technical Feasibility
➜ Economic Sustainability
Winner will be announced approximately by the end of May 2026.
