Innovation in research of all kinds of materials, the search for different types of design, ease of manufacturing and the desire to go further in some everyday products become key factors for the work of Splinter Works to leave the paper and solidify in a product.
Bringing the concept of relaxing hammock to design a bathtub, the Splinter Works managed to create a very bold subject lines, a disruptive simplicity, an object that attracts us by its levitating robustness.

The bathtub length 2,7 m is clamped between two walls by stainless steel brackets, giving the feeling of “levitate” over the ground. The filling of the tub is made by a minimalist tap that parts from the floor and it´s waste water is discharged through a valve at the bottom of the tub to an outlet on the ground.

The entire piece is designed and made by several carbon fiber blades involving a foam core, which allows the water temperature to be maintained for a long time. The bathtub offers a space for the senses, a different experience, a shower zen, where the senses has fun for one or two people
