The Shell bathtub is carved from a solid block of aromatic walnut. With extremely high precision and a great love of detail, this concept is at the edge of what is possible – a wood bathtub cannot be made any more delicate. The exacting production process includes precise positioning of every corner and curve, and the ergonomic optimization of every radius and incline. The sophisticated drain and overflow lie flush with the surface of the bathtub, disappearing into its form.
