Here's why mansions have multiple bathrooms: to allow at least one to have over-the-top design elements.
Sicis Tile Mosaics conceptualized this sparkling bathtub. They are hoping that the tub will be considered a work of art and move to the bedroom perhaps, or even the formal living room.
"Sicis began 20 years ago with a mission to re-animate the traditional tile mosaic, bringing it up-to-date and using it as a way to communicate to express trends, fashions and lifestyles," Trendir wrote. "The iconography and symbols of our time can be found within the Sicis contemporary mosaics, making them enduring items to last well beyond a lifetime. The mosaics reinterpret everyday objects into sculptural pieces meant to delight the senses."
