Modern Teak Tubs & Sinks From Plavisdesign of Italy

Often thought of the most suitable hardwood for outdoor furnishings because of its hardiness when exposed to water, heat and humidity, teak makes for great bathroom tubs and sink basins as well.

Plavisdesign of Italy, who has a large selection of ceramic designs for the bath, has a special collection of modern teak wood tubs and wonderful sink vessels by Bulle Design, many of which were recently introduced in the trade shows.

The natural quality of the wood and the organic shapes combined with sink pedestals of glass and/ or stainless steel accents or fittings, make this collection suitable for many architectural styles or genres. Japanese miminalist, bauhaus, modernist or simply urban would all be appropriate environments for pieces from this collection.

Bathing With Karim Rashid. His New TV Tub & Bath Collection For Saturn Bath.

First off, the latest news is the brand new TV Tub by designer Karim Rashid for the Saturn Bath Company of Korea. A little slice of modern bathroom heaven for those who enjoy luxuriating in bubbles while watching the boob tube.

The one piece oval tub, made of white Liquid Acrylic Resin, incorporates a waterproof television into its organic shape and design.




But this is not the first tub that Karim has designed for the Korean company. The Karim Collection for Saturn consists of the Kouple tub and washbasin (which won the Reddot award this year), the new Kouple tub with rim, the Organik tub also with matching wash basin or sink, and the new Skape tub and wash basin or sink. All are typical fun and colorful designs for Rashid whose pieces often resemble Dr. Seuss on Acid.
