Luxury bath? That's redundant. Bath time is always luxury time. Light a few candles, fire up some incense, put on a little soul music, dim the lights, and luxuriate.

Having a [fancy-schmancy tub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aretusa-tub-by-claudio-papa) doesn't make taking a bath any more luxurious, but looking at this tub is a treat for the eyes. It's the Omvivo 'Le Cob.' It has an overflow that trickles into [black pebbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design) and is handcrafted from Corian and glass.

**Implications** - Simplistic designs will always be in demand from the modern consumer, who is constantly seeking a plain yet futuristic approach to design. Companies can create products that rely more on their [minimalist characteristics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-collection-1) which add a sort of elegance that cannot be otherwise achieved.
