Elegantly Designed Bathtub Shaped Like A Hammock





The team at Splinter Works has come up with a bathtub which is shaped like a hammock.



Miles Hartwell, co-founder of this design collective, was “struck by the synergy” of both the hammock and the bath tub, and wanted to create a “vehicle for total escapism”.



The result is “Vessel”, a suspended bath tub that does not touch the floor.



Made of carbon fiber, the bath tub is supported by the walls like a hammock, albeit with stainless steel brackets.



The bath tub is also 2.7m long, which gives the user plenty of room to relax, though a floor standing tap has to be installed independently to supply the tub with water.
