Freestanding BathtubsIssue 19 — In Praise of Timber

The Home Spa Reimagined, from a Dutch-Finnish Designer

May 7, 2018

In the shopkeeper’s apartment at Egg, one of our favorite London shops, architect Jonathan Tuckey worked with Studio Anna van der Lei to install one of the designer’s Badbox bathtubs in the bathroom. The bathtubs are inspired by Van der Lei’s fascination for bathing and recalling her Dutch and Finnish background and cultural bathing experiences. Here’s a look at the bathtubs on offer.
