Soak In Me!

With bathroom and a bathtub like this, we can have a party right here..


I like this bathtub designed by Matteo Thun.


The latest work of art to grace the gallery space of Philadelphia Art Museum is not a rare canvas, a modern sculpture, or a larger-than-life installation.

It is, in fact, a bathtub.

Applauded as an “innovative use of technology, material, and organic spherical shape as paramount to Bernini’s boat fountain in Rome” by European design curator, Dr. Kathryn Hiesinger, the museum welcomes
Matteo Thun’s Lavasca Mini tub in black matte to its permanent contemporary design collection.


Completed in 2008 for Milan-based K/B manufacturer Rapsel, the vessel weighs in at 440 pounds and was produced using a composite material called Cristalplant.
The product combines art with inventive and functional design for the bath environment.
