Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Agape DR bathtub?

The DR bathtub was designed by Marcio Kogan and Studio MK27, an architecture and design practice based in São Paulo, Brazil, recognized internationally for projects that balance formal precision with a warm, body-conscious approach to space.

What materials is the DR bathtub available in?

The DR is offered with a bent wood exterior and solid surface interior for indoor use, as well as a concrete version suited to outdoor environments where durability and natural weathering are priorities.

Can the Agape DR bathtub be installed outdoors?

Yes. The concrete version of the DR is specifically designed for outdoor installation, with a material weight and surface character that respond well to open-air conditions over time.

What is Agape's design philosophy for bathroom objects?

Agape, founded in Mantua in 1973, approaches bathroom design with the rigor of industrial design and the sensibility of architecture, treating each object as a considered piece within a broader domestic culture rather than a purely functional fixture.

How does the DR bathtub accommodate two bathers?

The DR's elongated, continuously curved form is proportioned for two, with a silhouette that widens and flows to accommodate shared use without resorting to symmetrical or overtly utilitarian geometry.
