(54)	A shower enclosure

(57) A shower enclosure (1) comprises two vertical panels (5, 6) articulated to one another so as to constitute an articulated wall (10), the panels being movable between a folded position and an unfolded position in which the articulated wall (10) defines the space (7) inside the shower enclosure. Advantageously, one panel (5) is flat and the other panel (6) is a curved panel having a curved horizontal cross-section the concave side of which faces towards the space (7) inside the shower enclosure. Moreover, the shower enclosure (1) comprises means for guiding the curved panel (6) from the folded position to the unfolded position and vice versa along a path which extends around the space (7) inside the shower enclosure (1).
