Bright Idea CONVERT YOUR BATHROOM INTO A PRIVATE EXHIBITION You're in the bathtub, mindlessly exfoliating in a sea of bubbles (bonus points if those bubbles are Moët) when a creative epiphany suddenly overcomes you. Maybe it's the meaning of life. Or maybe its the perfect GIF for an ongoing Twitter feud. Either way, the bathroom has been creating the perfect conditions for "Eureka!" moments since Ancient Greece. And since our environment shapes our thinking in powerful ways, why not transform this oft-overlooked space into an inspirational art gallery like Halifax-based designer and DXV 2018 Design Panelist Jonathan Legate. Paintings and sculptures in bright, primary hues celebrate the quiet shapes of the sleek bath fixtures from DXV’s Modern Movement collection while a living wall of ivy blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. The result? A creative oasis primed for inspiration. dxv.com S y l v a n u s - Ur b a n . c o m The Energy Issue 31
