Wooden bath in the form of a boat
Вики Сомерс (Wieki Somers) — известная Dutch artist and designer of the second wave. Unlike the first generation of Dutch designers, who mainly focused on conceptual and functional designs, the representatives of the second wave also recognize the importance of aesthetics. Despite the directness of the metaphor and the unambiguous appearance of the original bathtub, the designer leaves room for the end users' imagination - relax and travel on the waves, sailing further and further away from worries. A wooden bathtub is not uncommon in modern interiors. But Vicky went further in her understanding of the bathing tank and created an unusual hybrid of a bathtub and a boat. And not just a boat, because its design in many ways resembles sailing ships of the 18th century. The wooden bathtub stands on special supports, which also shows an analogy with shipbuilding.
The bathtub body is made of oak and red woodwood, the lining is well treated with a moisture-resistant impregnation. In addition, the wooden bathtub is built according to all the rules of shipbuilding and, if desired, it can even be launched! Still, for ease of use, a removable plastic tank is installed inside the wooden body. It can be replaced or even pulled out and take a bath right in the wood.
There are two separate cranes installed on the bow of the boat.old model, but the user can, of course, change the plumbing and install modern shower mixers. A wide selection of mixers from various manufacturers is presented on the website kranok.com.
