This is a classic design for the cowboy or the Greek god; it's bold and iconic and unique.
The German text on the site translate to:
The tub is lined with slate, the drain flush with the bottom. The body of the tub sits on ash wood; despite the heavy weight of the materials used, it appears very light, as if it's floating on the beam. The back rest made of ash is adjustable and completes the luxurious bathing experience.
