Tub Design Features
This custom oval copper bathtub blends modern restraint with rustic warmth. Its freestanding form and symmetrical shape create a calming architectural anchor in the bath, while its surface expresses centuries-old metalworking tradition. The nuanced patina provides depth and character, making this tub feel collected, curated, and perfectly at home in a range of interior styles from clean farmhouse to global eclectic. Whether placed beneath a skylight, near a fireplace, or in a modern wet room, it invites relaxed immersion in elevated design.
Design & Shape
The oval form provides ergonomic comfort while maintaining geometric simplicity. Uniform height along the rim enhances symmetry and supports a centered, balanced aesthetic. Subtly flared walls allow for a more spacious soaking experience, and the softened edges encourage visual harmony. This versatile shape suits both compact bathrooms and expansive suites where form and function meet.
Material & Finish
Handmade from 16-gauge recycled copper, this tub features tightly spaced hammer marks and a gently undulating surface. The finish is achieved through multiple oxidation passes over flame, resulting in a warm coffee tone overlaid with flecks of muted green and dark gray. This color shift brings quiet complexity to the tub’s visual presence while remaining adaptable to multiple design palettes. See examples of patina finishes in our patina guide.
Handcrafted in Mexico
Each tub is crafted in the artisan town of Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, by Juan Carlos Hernández and his team of skilled metalsmiths. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, Juan Carlos shapes, hammers, and flame-patinas every surface by hand—ensuring a unique finish and long-lasting durability. His focus on proportion and texture ensures each bathtub reflects both regional character and personal pride.
Artisan Testimony
“The oval shape is quiet and balanced. We hammer it to catch the light like ripples, then let the fire write its history into the surface. No two are ever the same.”
