Ofuro Vasca by Rapsel

I think with all this cold weather nothing would be nicer than soaking in a hot bath completely immersed in water up to my chin.  If you agree you’ll want to check out this Japanese style soaking tub from Matteo Thun.

Traditional Ofuro are small wooden tubs with high sides. They are not for bathing.  You shower before you enter the Ofuro to leave the water clean for the next person.

The Ofuro Vasca, produced by Rapsel, is made entirely from larch wood (beech).  The wood is carefully dried, shaped and joined together creating a soft and inviting bath.  Compared to the typical round shape of the Japanese Ofuro, this European version is elongated.

Ingenius Shower Curtain Rail

I love the simplicity of the Pluviae Shower Head from Matteo Thun & Partners.  Matteo Thun designs everything from fabrics to sunglasses.  Thun’s  personal design principles reflect his respect for nature and surroundings, simplicity of layout, serenity of spirit and sensuality of material and light.

The shower curtain is optional – especially in a wet room.
