The design of the bath itself takes inspiration from Japanese forest bathing and it becomes filled with water starting at the bottom, so that the sound of liquid overflowing into the Hinoki wood mote creates a [soothing sensory experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-meditation). The bath is also designed to stimulate the senses with lights, fog and aromas, which can be adjusted with the bath's experience tower. With full-spectrum lighting, the bathtub helps to create a mood that can be supported with aromatherapy oils for an experience that's invigorating or deeply relaxing, according to one's needs in the moment. At a time when people are doubling down on at-home comforts and taking time away from the spa, the Stillness Bath creates a luxurious [self-care experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-collection-1).
