Japanese Ofuro Soaking Bath Tub by Rapsel


rapsel-bathtub-ofuro-1.jpg



With a comfortable, uncontrived, country-chic look and feel, the Japanese Ofuro soaking bath tub from Italian company Rapsel is a "natural" winner in top bath designs. Created by designer Matteo Thun, the unusual soaking tub is made entirely of larch wood (even the plug!) which is thoroughly dried, then cut, shaped and assembled. The finish is natural, to show off the beautiful, unblemished wood grain. Getting back to basics, this pared-down bathtub design boasts a simple shape that’s deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water’s warm embrace. Inspired by traditional Japanese tubs, this would make a great addition to minimalist bathrooms and Zen-inspired designs. Sink into Ofuro ’s welcoming, woody comfort and soak away the cares of the day. For more information, check out Rapsel.

bamboo chair jun zi
58 x 43 x 87 cm / 5.2 kg


the bamboo chair jun zi by jeff dah-yue shi for gragon fly gallery - yisheyi project
is made of moso bamboo inclusive of component parts, with a simple geometric form.
the structure is composed of rounded box-shaped frames made of bamboo slats.
while the front view of the chair appears like a bamboo tunnel at the base, the side view
is similar to the chinese character which denotes 'a noble man' - in chinese literature and philosophy,
bamboo has been a symbol of a noble man.

the gaps between the bamboo frames provide the ventilation. each of the arches contribute
to its neat contour. when one sits on the chair, there is a slight bounce which reflects the
natural flexibility of the bamboo slats. the maximum load-bearing capacity for the chair is 200 kg.
