All will be revealed!



Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water….someone in the design world announces ‘Glass is the new marble!”

See-through bath tubs: they’re the latest thing!
According to the Wall Street Journal (who ought to know) “The appeal extends across all ages, from children’s bathrooms to the elegant master baths in the second homes of older clients.” Older clients? Really?

So, now is the time to tell your clients: “Throw away your cast iron classic; rip out that marble or porcelain beauty; Jacuzzi-Scha-moozi!” What they want (especially your older clients) is a see-through tub.

Imagine the attention they will receive from their mate or significant other as they flounder around like a Beluga in an aquarium, searching the soapy water for that elusive bar of Ivory!

Now mind you, if their flat mate or significant other happens to be Scarlet Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence (Ryan Gosling for the rest!) maybe it’s not all bad. For the mainstream client….. the jury is out. A little too much information perhaps?

Below is a collage of see-through tub designs, with prices ranging from US$ 8,000 to a reported $25,000.
