Deep Soaking Tub, Melbourne, Australia

Product: Nirvana Deep Soaking Tub
Client: Mrs A.M.

The Nirvana, a Japanese soaking tub, here used as a corner bath in Melbourne, Australia

The Project:

When Mrs A.M. decided to renovate her en suite bathroom, she had a number of specific requirements. Firstly, she wanted a bath that would fit neatly in a corner beside a wall-mounted shower. She recognised that a bath with a smaller footprint would create a feeling of greater space and would afford more design flexibility.

Moreover, she was looking for something similar to a Japanese bath – a soaking tub that would be very comfortable to use and not so low that it would be difficult to get in and out. A bath in which the bather could sit rather than being required to lie down therefore looked very appealing. Mrs A. M. carried out a detailed search but found nothing that met her needs in Australia. However, she did find the Cabuchon website and concluded that the Nirvana deep soaking tub, with its ‘armchair’ style interior would be ideal.

She duly contacted the company to ask if it would be possible to ship the bath to Melbourne and was assured that Cabuchon had been shipping baths worldwide for nearly 30 years, including a considerable number to Australia.

During her enquiries, she considered various added features and elected to have the bath fitted with a high performance hydrotherapy system. This would aid relaxation and enhance the bathing experience. She also chose a Hansgrohe Exafill – an attractive feature that combines the functions of both a bath filler and overflow. This meant that the bath did not need to be fitted with taps as well, so the rim would remain smooth and uncluttered.

Finally, she asked for the soaking tub to be supplied in a colour that would match the other sanitaryware she had chosen for the new room.

The Nirvana was shipped to Melbourne with all the requisite features and Mrs A. M. pronounced herself delighted with the results.

“Finally our new en suite bathroom is complete. We are thrilled with the design and our wonderful tub! We are very proud of it. We are thrilled with our master en suite bathroom now that it’s finished. Finding the soaking tub was the finishing touch, because nothing like it was available in Australia. As we are older, we wanted comfort and something easy to get in and out of. This tub is perfect! And so relaxing! We love it!”
