I love that the tagline is "The Future of Pleasure"
Italian Spa designer Teuco takes bathtub design to a
whole new level. The Seaside breaks the concept of
conventional bathroom constraints and becomes it’s
own indoor spa. I love the clean lines, alluring
highlights and elegant cushions that transform your
entire bathing experience.
Water cascades from an entire ledge along one side of
the tub, reflecting the light in the turbulence
created by the blower jets. The bathing side of the
tub, reminiscent of a bank or shore-line, rises
gently to a platform with comfortable cushions
inviting rest and relaxation.

Stone Forest has created unparalleled hand carved
Japanese and contemporary sculptures and water
fountains since 1989. They use a myriad of stones
from granite, marble and travertine which gives their
work structural integrity that man made materials
cannot provide. Each piece is carved with hammer and
chisel and bears the character of the rock as well as
the inspiration of the stonecutter. The presence of
this timeless beauty gives your home or garden the
hint of eternity.
Stone Forest specializes in Stone Tub sinks,
fountains, furniture, bathtubs, sculptures, and table
ware. Equally impressive are the hammered bronze and
stainless items that have an obvious hand made
character with hammer marks, solder points, and minor
oxidation suggesting old world

Andrée Putman, the grande dame of French design, is
world famous and internationally celebrated and not
just for her creative originality, which she has
undoubtedly and impressively proven with her
free-standing bath, specially designed for Hoesch.
The gently rounded shapes in which Andrée Putman
combines the formal language of antiquity with
modernity make the bath look as if it is floating,
and it is apparent from the outside that it is for
two users. It's an amazing look that will undoubtedly
achieve cult status. The spacious interior offers
pure comfort, especially when whirling.

Bright and bold, the Ginkgo basin and bathtub
features a matching modern soaking tub form. The
Ginkgo design flairs upwards, opening like a flower
while retaining its clean sharp form. The profile is
raised at both sides, but swoops down at the front
and upwards at the back for a functional yet organic
look. Both the basin and the bathtub are freestanding
models, which lends them a sculptural air and space.
Designed by Yves Pertosa, these smooth modern
fixtures offer gentle contemporary grace, and are
ideal for adding signature colour to a room. Created

Neptune don’t specialise in bathtubs, they specialise
in a holistic bathing experience. Already known for
the luxury a Neptune bathtub provides, the Neptuner
adds a whole new aspect of sensual gratification. The
Neptuner is an advanced audio technology which uses
acoustic transducers to create an invisible surround
sound system. The Neptuner sends audio waves through
the shell of the bathtub, turning it into a single
speaker. The water then enhances the sound,
enveloping the user in their favourite music or TV
movie. The Neptuner provides a state of the art sound
system without the need for speakers throughout the
room. Neptune have created a revolutionary system
which is compatible with the complete Neptune range.
