We just came across a new bathtub design by Matteo Thun for Italian company Raspel.

The tub is completely made from larch wood, even the plug.

As beautiful as this tub is, I still want a traditional hinoki tub!  There’s a pretty cool book called “The Japanese bath” which has a lot of inspiring content not only about traditional Japanese tubs but also connecting the tubs with outdoor spaces.
