The Bubble Blo, New Inflatable Jacuzzi Tub from Blofield.

Blofield, whose high styled inflatable Chesterfield Sofa has been the recipient of the Red Dot Design award and whose pieces I profiled in my Inflatable Goes Formal post has just introduced the Bubble Blo, an inflatable hot spa.



It comes with an included power pack to provide warm water and bubbles, and like all their products is inflatable via their air-design, comes with its own bag and is easy to transport. It will be available with customized wrapping in every design, color or print imaginable.

By no means the first to create an inflatable spa tub, companies Palm Springs Outdoor and MSpa both make portable outdoor inflatable spa tubs:

The Tub-E And Tub-T From Wild Terrain Designs.

Australian company Wild Terrain Designs began in 2005 by creating vandal-resistant public bathrooms. In 2008, they branched out into property development creating designs for personal homes along South Australia's coastline and the foothills of Victoria.

Then, in 2009, they launched a line of unusual, whimsical and luxurious bathtubs and showers using unique combinations of metals, marble and glass called Exclusively Yours. The Tub-E and the Tub-T are two unique bathtubs from that luxury line of products.

The Tub-E:


The Electronic Tub-E is a luxury bath tub available in stainless steel or copper, cradled by a swirled staircase in perforated stainless steel. The tub has pinhole LED lights embedded into the perimeter, and a heater built in under the seat.



With one touch programming, it's not only auto fill, auto empty and auto clean, but can also be programmed to add any essential oils during the filling of the tub.


The Tub-T:


The Tub-T is fabricated from highly polished stainless steel with sandblasted glass steps, 16mm thick. Each glass step is lit by a soft glow LED light, and the hand rail is not just functional, but is sculptural as it graces the wall behind the tub. Inside the tub is a bench seat and the water is kept warm by an under bench heater in the cavity of the tub.

Carlo Colombo's Cuna Bathtub For Antonio Lupi

Recently introduced at this years Maison et Object show was the Cuna bathtub designed by Italian architect and designer Carlo Colombo (who also designed the Vascabarca-Barcavasca boat shaped bathtub) for Antonio Lupi.

The modern bathtub has a built in backrest and comes in two color variations; white on white and olive green exterior with white interior.

The one thing I have to say, being relatively short in stature, is that, although I haven't sat in this tub personally, I fear that if you weren't tall, and couldn't anchor your feet at the end of the tub, you might continually slip into the water . But that's just speculation on my part.

What do you think?
