Stepping into the [Float Series bathtub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtope), you might feel as though you're boarding a boat. One end of the sculptural soaker has been enhanced with the integration of stairs so that people of all ages and abilities can climb into the big basin with greater ease.

The [wood used to clad these steps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures) is, in part, a safety feature. The material will not become slippery when wet. Lovely pale lumber has also been used as the [cantilevered vanity of the bathroom sink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e15), contributing an aesthetic warmness that ties both fixtures together.

The smooth, triangular shape of Tirdad Kiamanesh's Float Series is artistic and practical. It makes the tub more comfortable and provides a place to arrange toiletries within the sink.
