Ballerine Bathtub is an artistic blend of a single bathtub and a free standing shower cabin. On the one hand we have a regular bathtub and on the other hand we have a design which is delicate and subtle like a woman’s body in motion. Designed by Gustaw Lange, the inspiration of the design was the desire to seize a fleeting movement. When we have more time at our disposal, we can indulge in a long and relaxed bath in the bathtub. After moving its arm, we can change the bathtub into an open shower cabin ensuring a relaxed feeling during an otherwise fast and routine activity. Its arm is flexible and can be adjusted to the chosen height. Its integrated showerhead functions as a bath faucet and a shower disc with hot and cold water options. The tub, black outside and white inside, is made of nylon and silicon. It is a harmonious synthesis of creativity and functionality.
