In HBO's hit series 'Soap in the City', four germaphobic urbanites discover the zeniths and nadirs of love, life, and cleanliness, so those iconic characters would have appreciated 'Urban Soap'. The four bars from design collective Studio Ohk are inspired by the sights and scents of Seoul, and they're an attractive decor add-on for any bathroom.
There are four bars in the Urban Soap collection, each with a different scent and inspiration. The first is designed to look like Seoul's Royal Palace, and it's scented with bergamot and sandalwood. The second owes its design to the city's architectural complexity, and has a musky earthen aroma. The third alludes to the city's bright neon signs, and the fourth to traditional roofing design throughout Seoul.
