Two unique pieces for two unique displays. Two bathtubs, each large enough to comfortably bathe two people at the same time, were carved from this amazing crystal stone. The first bathtub was presented at Milan’s Salone del Mobile in 2008 in a eye-catching display that brought out it’s nature colour and light. Such a success, it was purchased during the international furniture fair by a Russian magnate. Two years later, the second rock crystal tub was displayed at the 2010 show in Milan, and then transported to London, where it was showcased at Harrods. Installed in the prestigious main window display of Harrods in Brompton Road, the second bathtub was another resounding success. Shoppers and passersby were hypnotized by its natural transparency and reflective luminosity. The raw outside and the smooth, soulful inside provided such a stunning contrast that people in the streets often stopped to take photographs and admire at length this incredible piece of pure luxury.
