| DESIGN NAME: Shell PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bathtub INSPIRATION: The design of SHELL wooden bath series was inspired by japanese bathing culture and the long tradition of making bathtubs out of wood. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Shell bathtub is carved from a solid block of aromatic walnut. With extremely high precision and a great love of detail, this concept is at the edge of what is possible – a wood bathtub cannot be made any more delicate. The exacting production process includes precise positioning of every corner and curve, and the ergonomic optimization of every radius and incline. The sophisticated drain and overflow lie flush with the surface of the bathtub, disappearing into its form. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was started and finalized in 2014 in Innsbruck, Austria. In 2015 Shell Bathtub has received the Interior Innovation Award and was shown at the exhibition during the international furniture fair imm cologne. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Shell bathtub is made of genuine, hand-polished and oiled walnut. It is carved from a solid block of aromatic walnut using a precision CNC milling machine. The final form is refined, polished and oiled by hand many more times. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimensions: WxLxH= 85x188x52 cm Material: walnut, oiled TAGS: - RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: - ADDED DATE: 2017-09-20 12:04:34 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Markus Bstieler |
