Attention, homeowners seeking to simulate the luxe solitude and calm
of a hotel bathroom: Stone Forest,
creators of fine accessories sculpted from natural materials, has introduced
the Eau Soaking Tub, an ofuro, or
Japanese-style soaking tub, hand-carved out of a single hunk of exquisitely
veined Carrara Marble.

Traditionally made of woods such as hinoki, cedar and teak, the ofuro has been used in Japan
for centuries. The ancient technique of immersing the entire body in hot water is
said to bestow therapeutic benefits such as alleviating tensions and stress,
soothing muscular pains and stimulating the blood’s circulation.

The Eau Soaking Tub will make a stunning visual
statement in any contemporary bathroom. The tub has an ergonomically designed
bench carved into the stone and rests at 20 inches deep, allowing for complete
body immersion. The Carrara marble also possesses insulating properties that will
retain the water’s heat for longer periods, meaning you get to enjoy your hot
soak for as long as you please. Place the Eau Soaking Tub outdoors or near a
large window with a scenic view, and you’ll be assured of a calming bath
experience worth going home for.
