Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Snuggle Up with a Book in the Bathtub Chair and Keep Your Pages Dry

— January 18, 2013 — Eco
Despite the fact that most soakers are not actually very comfortable, the idea of them has been infused with notions of relaxation. The Bathtub Chair perhaps better represents this state of content rest with its padded edges to support the person inside.

No, this piece of furniture is not intended to be filled with water. Once it was, but the reclaimed bathroom fixture has here been cut in half and contoured with soft cushioning and fabric by Ahhaproject. As such, it can be separated into two comfy armchairs with lovely curved backs, or kept together to give the sitter the feeling of a cozy embrace. The best part about the Bathtub Chair is that you can bundle up with a novel and not risk destroying its pages with your wet and soapy fingers.
