Challenge
There could be lots of reasons to use the bathroom. People might use it for number 1 or number2; maybe one needs a space to calm down, or even having a bad mood and needs some space. Still, there's one thing for sure: People in the bathroom doesn't want to be interrupted. However, most of us may have an experience where even if we lock the door, there will always be someone who still wants to twist the doorknob to see if the door is truly locked, which is not only annoying but also kills the mood.
Opportunity
How might we create an undistracted experience for bathroom users?
Context
It’s all about privacy
A door can be a partition of a space, a partition of a mood, or a partition of your own world. However, We've probably had an experience where even if we lock the door, there will always be someone who still wants to twist the doorknob to see if the door is truly locked. It was so annoying, isn't it? And we would probably wish the doorknob could've disappeared at that moment.
