promotional brochure
Kühle Brauseköpfe in der Dusche. Die konsequente Linienführung hinterlässt ihre Spuren auch in der «aufrechten» Nasszone.
From a promotional brochure for bathroom fixtures. This is describing taps etc. for the shower rather than the bath but I can't think of a catchy way to say it and I don't just want to put shower. Does anyone have any ideas please?

: IF, and that's a big assumption given the lack of surrounding context, the theme here can be equated with a 'stand-up comedian' perfect; otherwise...?

upright wet zone
a play off the term upright walking = human development which then goes along with "cool heads"...

Hilary Davies Shelby
: i like the idea but i think this makes it sound like the "zone" is upright, instead of that one is upright in the zone...
