Bath Time

By Sam Yen Nikki Prange | June 04, 2016

Super soaking in the velvety Marsiglia tub

With its Marsiglia tub, the Italian brand Agape has once again succeeded in creating something that is at once contemporary and evocative of the past. Designed for Agape by the studio LucidiPevere, the freestanding bathtub, which is offered in all white or with a light or dark gray exterior, is based on the rectangular basins of centuries-old public washhouses – the place where women used to wash clothes near a river, with the aid of a wooden tablet.

The clean lines are both a memory of the past and a fitted sign of the current times, blending in with any bathroom space. The Marsiglia is formed from Cristalplant, an eco-sustainable composite that is malleable and nonporous and has a soft, velvety surface. One edge of the tub extends into a ledge for holding bath sundries, a book, or a glass of wine.
