Tambre bathtub furniture

Tambre is a bathtub developed in collaboration with Agape, the first project between the Italian manufacturer and David Chipperfield Design. Taking its name from the river Tambre in Galicia, it is defined by a precise use of okumè plywood. The material’s warm tone and fine grain give the object a restrained presence, while its construction, based on flat, assembled elements, remains clearly legible. All technical components are contained within the body of the tub, allowing the exterior to remain uninterrupted. At each junction, solid wood inserts soften the transitions and reinforce the continuity of the volume.
