Do you love the look of a free-standing tub but feel like they are all too similar in shape? If so, then this sleek tub from Zone of Absolute Design (ZAD) is for you.

Designed by Rossella Sblendorio for ZAD, the Funamori tub draws its inspiration from the small wooden sushi boats used in Japanese restaurants. The name, Funamori, by definition means a boat wrap, or a style of sushi shaped like a boat to contain items that would fall off of regular nigiri-sushi. Also known as Gunkan maki, kakomi sushi.

The Funamori tub is made from Adamantx, an innovative solid surface composite resin developed and produced in Italy. It is offered in three colors and in either matte or gloss finish.

After a grueling week of work wouldn’t it be wonderful to come home and drift off to zen-like relaxation in your Funamori tub?

The shower is no longer conceived of as a wet cell, but has become an inherent part of a whole room approach to bathroom design – showering is thus defined more and more by curb-less designs that do without shower trays. This style of showers require a new generation of floor drains to help maintain the boundary between wet and dry zones in your bathroom.

There are many advantages to using a linear slot drain in your bathroom shower. The most obvious is the sleek continuous look your shower floor will have. Removing the shower curb and letting your floor tile cover the the whole area will make your bathroom appear larger.

Quick Drain USA’s high-quality, stainless steel linear slot drains come in various sizes from 32″ to 60″ making it an easy choice for your next project. These 1 1/2″ wide drains have the lowest profile in the industry and are available with both side and bottom drain outlets. This linear channel drain is also very easy to clean. Everything is removable (including the shower linear drain cover and strainer).

For curved shower applications ACO Haustechnik has linked up with Glamu to create a free-standing shower enclosure. The shower drain system holds the curved glass element firmly in place with only one side fixed to a wall. ACO offers designer grates for their drains with 5 pattern choices that can optionally be lit with colored LEDs.

The Poresta Slot Floor Drain by Illbruck is well suited for the most minimalist bathrooms. The grateless 7mm drain positioned directly against the wall gives the shower the appearance of having no drain. Water disappears into a barely noticeable shadow gap.
