Bathrooms International’s New Papillon Bathtub
Saturday, June 21st, 2008
The latest trend for luxurious interiors is ‘Nature’ and designers are now creating beautiful hand made products from raw natural materials that are also friendly to the environment.
Bathrooms International of Pont Street has responded by launching The Papillon, the ultimate bath made from stone.
This bespoke freestanding bath is exquisitely hand carved from a large block of stone by master craftsmen; the individual character of the rock as well as the inspiration of the mason transform the bath into a unique sculpture.
The Papillon Bath in our picture is carved from Carrara Marble and measures 67” x 44” x 26”.
The Papillon has an organic shape and the contours at the rim create a wave, reminiscent of nature.
Weighing an impressive 800kgs, this unique piece is only suitable for a ground floor or a re-enforced floor.
Available exclusively from Bathrooms International in the UK, the bath can be hand crafted from Carrara Marble, Black Granite or Limestone.
