Close your eyes and relax in paradise...

As late as the early 1960’s many homes in Britain did not have a bathroom, fast forward 50 years and our bathrooms have become an important room in our homes – a sanctuary to lock ourselves away from the fast pace of life. Many of us like to run a nice hot bath when we’re feeling stressed and want to relax but is the standard white bath tub really suitable for total relaxation?

 The ‘Vessel’ hammock-shaped bath is perfect for relaxing in style. It is the latest limited edition collection piece from Splinterworks, a UK based company that create engaging and inspiring furniture.

 The peaceful experience of kicking-back in a hammock has been further enhanced by combining it with the immersive comfort of soaking in a hot bath. By literally elevating the experience of bathing into a suspended sculpture the bathroom has been reinvented as a contemplative sanctuary for artful relaxation.

Vessel is made from carbon fibre which is utilised for its inherent strength and ability to be formed into complex curves, furthermore the weave of the fabric references the cloth of a typical hammock. Beneath the layers of carbon fibre lies a foam core, which insulates the tub, meaning the bath stays hot for considerably longer than normal.
 
At 2.7m long, Vessel is longer than a regular bathtub, leaving plenty of room to share the experience. Custom sizes are available but it is also designed so that it can be trimmed up to 20 cm to allow for flexible installation. Pictured here in black, it also available in red, blue, yellow, pink, bronze and pure silver. For more information contact Gallery Showroom.
