In 2008, the wellness oasis on Vieques Island where Patricia Urquiola designed the interiors for the W Hotel, offered the inspiration for the creation of the Vieques bathtub. A ready-made tribute to the bathtub of yesteryear that has become a classic of contemporary design. Made of steel, painted in white or with a dark grey or light grey exterior, it can be completed with an iroko shelf and backrest. The stainless steel version now also allows outdoor use.
