SPA
OF THE

Future
By Mae Mañacap-Johnson

esign is a constant evolution. It speaks of the present, showcasing
the world today in artistic shapes and forms. If probed further,
design could also peek into the future with thought-provoking
ideas, aesthetics and concepts expressed not only by a genius of a
shade or stroke, but drawn with creative discipline.
To welcome a new year, Pulse looks far into the future and asks three respected
design firms to render their vision of tomorrow’s spa. Would the spa of the future
look like spaces straight from a Sci-Fi movie where conveniences are at the touch
of an automated button? Or, would future spa design return to its roots and
embrace diversity in culture and nature? You’ll be surprised where inspirations
can come from and how these design experts envision the spa of the future.
