Tub Design Features
This bathtub combines cultural reverence and refined design into one calming centerpiece. Perfect for slow, intentional bathing, its deep circular basin envelops the body in comfort. The warm metal finish and subtly textured rim elevate the form from simple utility to artful presence. Whether placed in a spa-inspired suite, nature-centered home, or minimalist apartment, this tub cultivates quiet luxury and restorative balance.
Design & Structure
The perfectly round shape stands in contrast to more common rectangular or oval forms, offering symmetry and spatial harmony. The straight sides maximize interior soaking space while taking up minimal floor area. A low interior step provides seating or foot support—ideal for ritual bathing or compact comfort. The clean silhouette works beautifully in modern, wabi-sabi, or biophilic bathrooms.
Material & Finish
Formed from 16-gauge copper, this tub is lightly polished to a soft matte sheen that diffuses light gently. The upper rim is delicately hammered by hand to introduce a subtle crackle-like texture that catches light and reinforces the tub's artisanal identity. The patina is a rich reddish-brown tone that matures slowly over time, gaining depth and variation with use. Learn more in our patina guide.

Designing a Space with a Tub
Set the tub on a raised platform of river stone or smooth slate. Surround it with natural textures: cedar planks, linen curtains, and indirect lighting. Use floor-level wood benches, organic mats, and small planters to emphasize tranquility. A bamboo screen or soft textile divider can enhance privacy without enclosing the space.
Bathroom Styling Suggestions
Japanese Wabi-Sabi: Use weathered wood, stone vessels, and low lighting to create a serene, imperfect beauty.
Modern Zen: Contrast the copper with black tile, glass partitions, and natural fiber textiles for a calm, minimalist retreat.
Rustic Elegance: Blend earth tones, plaster walls, and forged iron fixtures to create a quiet, heritage-inspired spa environment.
Care & Cledssaning
Routine Use: Rinse after use and dry with a cloth. Avoid citrus-based or abrasive cleaners. For ongoing maintenance, see our usage guide.
Preserving the Finish: Apply copper wax every few months to preserve coloration and reduce oxidation. Learn more in our cleaning and waxing guide.
