Side view of a sponge on a wand. The sponge is yellow and porous and has a red ribbon handle on top. The sponge connects to a wand that is long and thin. The third of the want closest to the sponge is thinnest and grey. The other two thirds are teal. The middle third has slight bumps. The third furthest from the end bends down and forms a loop big enough for a person’s fingers to fit through. The tip of the wand has a small hole that is even with the loop.

Prototype, Bendable Bathing Wand

This is a prototype. It was designed by Michael Graves Architecture & Design and manufactured by Moen Inc.. It is dated 2015. Its medium is polypropylene, tpe, aluminum, synthetic fibers.

When we experience an injury, or as we age, our range of motion can decrease, making rigid bathing wands difficult to use. This flexible, bendable bathing wand facilitates the cleaning of hard to reach places. Its interchangeable heads come in three materials and textures and can be removed for handheld use without the wand.

This object was donated by Michael Graves. It is credited Gift of Michael Graves Design Group.
