The Nirvana deep soaking bath tub is our best-selling bath worldwide. Hand-crafted in Britain, it was developed as a result of detailed consultations with previous Imersa customers and with prospective seekers of the perfect deep soaking bath.
Key to its popularity is the comfort afforded by its sculptured interior – the result of two years of research and design development – its quality craftsmanship and its exceptional versatility. It can be set into a corner or niche, installed free-standing with bespoke panels, or set into a wooden, stone or tiled surround. Its simple and compact dimensions make it compatible with all kinds of decorative surrounds so it can be made to suit décors of all kinds, from traditional to contemporary. It is also particularly well suited for the inclusion of a hydrotherapy system.
Designed to optimise both bathing comfort and pleasure, the Nirvana features a sloping curved back, which is sculpted both horizontally and vertically. One early client described the sensation of bathing in the Nirvana as being “like sitting in a comfortably supportive armchair.” An overhead view of the bath’s interior provides a sense of the ergonomic design – the raised seat and the armrests pictured on each side of the bowl, and the angled footrests set lower down in the bowl. These are ribbed so, in addition to allowing the feet to lie at a naturally relaxed angle, they can also be used to stimulate the soles of the feet in accordance with principles of massage and reflexology.
The sculptured seat and back enable the bather to slide up or down – and sideways – to ensure the best personal soaking depth. In our own experience we know of bathers of heights varying from 137cm / 4’ 6” to 201cm / 6’ 7” who have used the Nirvana and found it to be outstandingly comfortable. The bowl is amazingly roomy, and the integral arm and foot rests make relaxation complete.
With its launch, the Nirvana deep soaking bath tub set a new trend in bathing and since that time, it has been much copied but never matched.
Each tub is made to order so it can be produced in any colour and a choice of finishes. Design and Form will match any current – and many past – sanitaryware colours in its standard pricing and, as an additional service, it will match the base colour of any tile, paint, stone or textile. Many other custom options are available and the external dimensions can often be modified to suit the space available.
Design and Form’s Cabuchon Bathforms range includes freestanding, inset/under-mounted, panelled and deep-soaking baths, all sold in standard sizes or as custom designed units. The range also includes hydrotherapy systems custom designed for each client. The company manufactures all its products in the UK and exports throughout the world.
