I don't think you get the old ladies with it, but it does look like a pretty [unique tub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soaking-tub). The Bath Boat is from Dutch designer Wieki Somers and constructed with oak and red ceder wood. **Implications** - This would be a really fun bathtub to have if you have a hard time getting your [children to willingly take baths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-is-for-ball). Staying clean would become an adventure upon the high seas each time you stepped into this playful bathroom furnishing. Indeed you might quickly find that the problem with this Bath Boat is not getting your kids into it, but convincing them to leave! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Playful Bathroom Furnishings:** Creating playful and imaginative bathroom furniture can enhance the bathing experience for children. - **Unique Bathtubs:** Designing unique and unconventional bathtubs can make the bathing experience more enjoyable and memorable. - **Innovative Children's Bath Products:** Developing innovative bath products for children can make bath time more fun and enticing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore creating playful and imaginative bathroom furnishings. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can cater to the demand of unique and unconventional bathtubs. - **Children's Products:** The children's products industry can focus on developing innovative bath products that appeal to children and make bath time more enjoyable. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Removable Bathtub Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtrope.md) - [Malleable Removable Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtope.md) - [Ocean-Centric Portable Jacuzzis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacuzzi.md) - [Developmental Bath Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-toy-collection.md) - [Japanese Snack Box-Inspired Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-starck-box.md) - [Cedar Wood Soaking Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofuro-bathtub.md) - [Rounded Hydromassage Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aretusa-tub-by-claudio-papa.md) - [Eco-Friendly Bath Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-bath-products.md) - [Automated Relaxation Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bathtub.md)
