Plywood bathtub turns heads at Milan Design Week
In Milan, Agape, a luxury design firm known for bathroom fixtures, and British minimalist architect David Chipperfield have showcased a bathtub made from okumè plywood at Milan Design Week. Featuring a pared-back form with an integrated seat, shelf and cantilevered washbasin, the Tambre tub “is distinguished by its warm tone, fine grain and a high degree of water resistance,
according to a write up in design publication dezeen.
“The family develops through a gradual process of convergence,” the designers told dezeen. “This progression reaches its most integrated form in a configuration where bathtub and washbasin share a single volume, dissolving the boundary between functions.”
