Overflowing With Luxurious Modern Design: KÄSCH Tubs & Whirlpools

above: Oriental Overflow whirlpool tub by Kasch

KÄSCH (or Kaesch as it's called in the US) is an internationally renowned manufacturer of exclusive acrylic bathtubs and whirlpools, largely for upscale hotels. Their products feature timeless, elegant design combined with uncompromising quality in materials and workmanship. They carry three lines of tubs; Freestanding, Overflow and Takiyu.

Their Overflow and Takiyua whirlpool tubs in particular are truly lust-worthy. And those are the ones I've chosen to share with you today.

The Overflow collection's name describes the product feature that makes it so desirable - the water flows back into the basin in a seemingly endless cycle as it spills over the edge that is so neatly flush with the floor. The whirlpool tubs can can be outfitted with color changing lights and music making it a complete soothing sensory experience. The Overflow line comes in six styles:

ORIENTAL:

POND:

WISH:

CHI:

FLOAT:

LAKE:

Along with bathing in mineral springs, bathing in the pool of a waterfall - TAKIYU - has a long tradition in Japan. Even in earliest times in Asia, waterfalls in hidden mountain areas were pilgrimage places for individual bathing rituals. The TAKIYU concept is based on the combination of a waterfall with the massaging effects of air-water jets, enhanced by colored lighting. This model supports physical and psychological regeneration. Water continually flows in a closed cycle from beneath a decorative covering, falling gently into the tub.

There are ten models in the Takiyu line:

RT912/RT915:

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:

Origami's key item is the bathtub, an absolute new entry for the Stocco world. All in Cristalplant®, it can be transformed into many versions, many of which are fully customisable. Self standing, wall-mounted, with functional sides (for example, with service niches, shelves or practical, coloured chests), customised with logos or pantographed graphics or equipped with a practical extended top, the Origami bathtub unleashes architect creativity.
