Elegant Bathtubs Made Entirely of Wood

by twistedsifter

 

Alegna is a design firm based in Switzerland, best known for their elegant series of bathtubs and sinks made entirely of wood. Building from their many years of experience in yacht building and processing high-quality woods, these elegant bathroom designs are a sight to behold.

To protect the wood from water damage, a highly resistant varnish is used. Each bathtub is manufactured individually and built custom for each client. Bathtubs are manufactured from carefully selected wood veneers that are compressed together under high pressure and completely saturated with resin. Only certified wood from forests with controlled felling and reforestation are used.

Each bathtub weighs approximately 60kg – 80kg (132-176 lbs) and comes with a service life of 40-60 years. The specially treated wood means bacteria will not accumulate on the wood and that it’s leak-proof. For additional information be sure to visit their official website. Below you will find a gallery of this beautifully designed wooden bathtubs, enjoy!
