Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
Stone Forest and designer Michael Zimber introduced a new notable design to its bathtub collection with Facet Bathtub.
Carved from single blocks of Antique Gray Limestone or Noce Basalt, these architectural statement pieces are the embodiment of functional sculptures, emphasizing the simple beauty of natural stone.
Facet Bathtub has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
“While the Facet bathtubs complement the Elemental Facet collection of vanities, vessels, storage units, and accessories, these bathtubs were designed to stand alone,” states Michael Zimber, founder of Stone Forest.
“The designers wanted to get away from traditionally-shaped tubs so the designers designed this collection as an updated ovoid and added the faceted detailing on the exterior to provide additional dimension.”
Hand-crafted to create subtle flat planes that reflect and refract light when viewed from different angles, the unique faceted exterior makes a strong architectural statement.
Taking three weeks to complete, the ovoid shape is squared at each end to provide a small rest for accouterments, while the interiors are smooth and inviting.
