Sunken Wooden Tubs

The Japanese Ofuro Bath is Naturally Relaxing

I’m definitely the type of person to enjoy a good long soak after a tiring day (or just for the hell of it, actually), and this Japanese Ofuro bath looks like the perfect place to have one. Just looking at it makes my muscles relax.

Designed by Matteo for the Italian company Rapsel, the natural-looking Japanese Ofuro bath is crafted from larch wood. Inspired by traditional Japanese tubs, the Ofuro is deep enough to submerge your entire body, and it even plugs!
