Japanese inspired bathing

Renowned furniture designer-makers William Garvey Ltd specialise in designing and making cutting-edge teak designs for the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. William Garvey has been producing the finest quality furniture for more than 30 years and is especially recognised for its stunning wooden baths and sinks.

The Geo Bath pictured is based on traditional Japanese methods of bathing and boasts an extra deep tub that is filled with hot water, in which you can sit submerged up to the neck for total relaxation. The insulating properties of teak means that the water will stay warm for hours and, with the addition of a specially constructed lid, can be kept warm all day. The Geo bath is also perfect for those with smaller bathrooms, as its shorter length will fit snugly in even the most spatially challenged rooms. Its extra deep dimensions mean you don’t have to compromise on comfort and the addition of a removable seat allows you to sit in comfort while enjoying a soak. A matching teak stool for easy access is also available.

Perfect for use within wet environments teak is used extensively in the marine industry because of its durability and the natural oils found within the timber protect it from water, resist marking and allow easy cleaning with household detergents. To further ensure its durability, the timber is coated in a protective finish which renders it virtually indestructible. Each of William Garvey Ltd’s wooden baths and basins is made by hand. The design involves the use of complex interlocking joints, which ensure that the bath is completely leak proof. As well as making a standard range, the company can make baths to any size or configuration required.

Starting prices: Geo Bath from £3687, including feet and one seat. Geo Basin Price: £685 both available through Interior Designers evitavonni.co.uk.
