These days, marble bathtubs\u00a0have pretty much become run-of-the-mill\u00a0in high-end\u00a0homes.\u00a0One of London’s newest luxury residential developments, however, stands to shatter that standard.<\/p>\n

One Tower Bridge has recently announced its partnership with Alegna<\/a>, a Swiss design firm that specializes in crafting dream bathrooms… out\u00a0of wood.\u00a0The luxury development has\u00a0charged the innovative company with outfitting 36 luxe apartments\u00a0and\u00a0three penthouse duplex apartments located in the\u00a0Tower’s Cambridge House with their posh vessels,\u00a0which\u00a0come with complementary fitted wall and ceiling elements\u00a0and cost about \u20ac<\/span>14,000\u00a0(roughly $19,000) a pop.<\/p>\n

Now before you scoff at the idea of\u00a0combining water with a notoriously permeable and erodible material, chew on this: Alegna uses an intricate technique to render\u00a0them utterly\u00a0water resistant. Real wood veneers are compressed together under high pressure, then soaked in a synthetic resin,\u00a0a special varnish meant to prevent\u00a0the wood from absorbing\u00a0any liquid and deteriorating due to water damage.<\/p>\n

The treatment\u2014which Alegna claims has been tested under the harshest conditions\u2014makes the bathtubs super durable and easy to maintain. According to the company, small\u00a0scratches that may\u00a0appear after years of use can easily be polished away by hand.<\/p>\n

The stylish tubs can be made from every kind\u00a0of wood imaginable, including Walnut, Mahogany, Pear, Iroko, Oak, and Wenge. To boot, its\u00a0manufacturer\u00a0asserts that only certified wood derived from forests with controlled felling and reforestation is\u00a0used, arguably making the product “eco-friendly.”<\/p>\n
