Ola!
I am always looking for things that are interesting and new. Recently, I received an email newsletter from FRESHOME.COM - THE ART OF RELAXATION: BATHTUB AND HAMMOCK COMBINED BY SPLINTER WORKS.
Being that I grew up with MACAS [HAMMOCKS], I was immediately drawn to this BATHTUB/HAMMOCK combination. Just imagine - the relaxation of a hammock fused with a bathtub. The only word the comes to mind is CALMA [CALM].
Designed by Splinter Works for use in a wet room, the limited edition Vessel tub is suspended from the walls and does not touch the floor. It is fixed with stainless steel brackets that can be covered over, or left revealed. The bath is filled using a floor standing tap and the waste water released through the base into a floor drain. A down-pipe drain can also be installed if a wet room setting is not possible.
More about Splinter Works
Splinter Works was formed in 2009 and is a collaboration between Miles Hartwell and Matt Withington. Their mission is to create sculptural furniture that is engaging and inspiring.
They strive to enrich the lives of the people who use their furniture, by creating pieces that enhance their environment and elevate the experience of everyday life. Their aim is to create work that is individual, thought provoking, aesthetically beguiling, intelligently designed and a delight to use.
Their designs are experimental and theatrical, but the function of the piece is always paramount. We love to play visual tricks especially where balance comes into question. Opposing dichotomies of solidity versus weightlessness, motion versus stillness, and strength versus fragility are played out in our ambitious designs through innovative materials.
They work on both a limited-edition collection of furniture and on special commissions. Examples of commissions currently include mini bars, conference tables, extending dining tables, reception desks, kitchen installations, integral storage and cabinet solutions and dressing room furniture. Their limited-edition furniture collection currently includes, a desk, dressing table, console, stool, a bathtub and a pool slide, with new designs released throughout the year.
Their ambitious projects are fuelled by their passion for absolute quality, technical ingenuity, artistic integrity and a solid belief in creating the most considered and exquisite work befitting of its purpose.I am happy to add the VESSEL TUB into my design repertoire!!!!
