# Organic Plant-Integrated Tubs DesignLibero's Mother of Pearl Design Tub Wraps Bathers Like a Pearl By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-12-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-of-pearl-design References: [ifitshipitshere.blogspot](http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.ca/2013/12/two-trippy-tubs-for-people-and-plants.html) & [designlibero](http://www.designlibero.com/home/product-design/mother-of-pearl/) The Mother of Pearl design from Milan-based DesignLibero is a gorgeous [sculptural tub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-collection-1) that provides the ultimate relaxing experience. The organic shape of the tub was inspired by mother of pearls themselves and this is seen in the [seashell-like shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-pearl) of the tub, which cocoons bathers like a precious pearl. As part of the design, the faucet is completely concealed, so that the bathtub retains its streamlined shape and hardly seems like a traditional tub at all. The Mother of Pearl tub has a unique touch interface that enhances relaxation with lighting, sounds and aromatherapy scents that can be specified by the bather. On one side of the tub, there’s even a built-in spot for plants, which infuses bathrooms with [air-purifying plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antao) or flowers for an experience that’s truly rejuvenating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Organic Tub Design:** Mother of Pearl design showcases the potential of organic shapes for innovative bathtub designs. - **Integrated Wellness Features:** Integration of lighting, sounds and aromatherapy scents in tubs open opportunities to offer wellness-centered, luxury home-spa products. - **Bathrooms Infused with Plants:** Designs that incorporate plant-life within the bathroom, provide an opportunity for companies to market to nature loving customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Bathroom Fixtures:** Manufacturers can leverage innovative designs and integrated wellness features to target high-end consumers seeking comfort-oriented lifestyle products. - **Home-spa Products:** Tub designs that offer integrated wellness features open up pathways for companies to offer luxury home-spa products. - **Home Decor and Living:** Design innovations like the Mother of Pearl tub that infuse bathrooms with plants open up opportunities in the home decor and living industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated High-Design Bath Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soaking-tub.md) - [Luxe Translucent Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusso-amore-freestanding-resin-bath.md) - [Customizable Minimalist Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acquabella-noon-slate.md) - [AI-Enhanced Contemporary Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-and-co.md) - [Removable Bathtub Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtrope.md) - [Japanese Snack Box-Inspired Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-starck-box.md) - [Malleable Removable Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtope.md) - [Symmetrical Curved Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-alberts-barcelona-collection.md) - [Collaborative Bathroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-design2.md)
