Many years ago we created the Empire bathtub, which has become an industry icon. The tub was based on a late 19th-century foot bath that we found, quite remarkably, in a salvage yard. Empire has generous curves, a wonderful rolled top and always most important, fantastic comfort. We love the fact that it can stand alone in a space and become a bold piece of sculpture.

Nearly as important as the way a bath tub looks is the fact that it needs to be filled efficiently and conveniently. There are two options that work when the tub is large enough (70 gallons or more); each delivers a vigorous flow of water quickly.

I was recently asked what I would do in my master bath if there was not room for both a tub and a shower. Would I consider showering in the tub?  The answer is a resounding NO. And my rationale was confirmed the other night when I stayed in a hotel in Boston where I had to shower in the tub.

Occasionally, a bath is published that really captures the essence of the designer’s personal style and taste. The one pictured in this post has been created by Thomas O’Brien, a longtime collaborator of Waterworks, and his husband  Dan Fink of Dan Fink Studio. I love this space as a complete bath experience; it is a thorough expression of the designers’ personal style and taste; it is warm, comfortable, formal in an informal way and completely charming.
