Tambre Bathtub

Tambre is a bathtub defined by a precise and controlled use of okumè plywood. Its warm tone and fine grain give the piece a presence that is both measured and intimate, while its construction — based on flat assembled elements — remains clearly legible. It takes its name from a river in Galicia, where thermal water has shaped a long-standing culture of immersion.

"At each junction, solid wood inserts soften the transitions, giving continuity to the volume."

A slightly raised backrest merges with the basin, shaping the posture of immersion without emphasis. The technical components are fully integrated within the body of the tub, organised in accessible compartments that leave the exterior surface uninterrupted.

The family develops through a gradual process of convergence. The bathtub is available in two freestanding sizes, as well as in a version that incorporates a shelf and integrated shower — a reference to the Japanese practice of washing before immersion. This progression reaches its most integrated form in a configuration where bathtub and washbasin share a single volume, dissolving the boundary between functions.
