An architect from Singapore contacted us for this project.
It is a nice kado-maru model with custom sizes and internal seat.
The order process was very smooth. For the shipping, we proposed to use DHL as the new services price-list is very competitive and allows us to use a cardboard for the packaging, thus saving additionally on the shipping costs altogether.
The main note about this tub is that the client absolutely wanted it in hinoki wood, although usually we employ sawara for this type of barrel construction models.
Sawara is easier to work in curved elements and the bands make a better grip into the softer wood, but ... we will make that extra step if we can satisfy the client`s wishes!
Here are the specs:
Model/material: Japanese Knotless Hinoki "Oke" bathtub
Sizes: L1100mm x W630mm x 740mm (620mm deep)
Options: Hinoki wood internal seat W400mm
