Vasca da bagno di Vieques
Made by Agape
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
Vieques di Agape è una vasca freestanding disegnata da Patricia Urquiola, ispirata all'oasi di benessere dell'isola di Vieques e originariamente concepita per gli interni del W Hotel nel 2008. Un omaggio contemporaneo alle vasche del passato, la sua forma delicatamente nostalgica è reinterpretata con chiarezza architettonica, creando un pezzo che risulta iconico e profondamente sereno allo stesso tempo.
Realizzata in acciaio e disponibile nelle finiture esterne bianca, grigio scuro o grigio chiaro, Vieques può essere completata con una mensola e uno schienale in iroko per un maggiore calore e comfort. La collezione comprende anche una versione in acciaio inossidabile adatta per l'uso esterno, consentendo a questa vasca scultorea di portare un raffinato relax sia nei bagni interni che negli spazi di balneazione all'aperto.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Agape Vieques bathtub?
The Vieques bathtub was designed by Patricia Urquiola for Agape in 2008. It was originally commissioned for the W Hotel on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, and draws its atmospheric depth from that specific place and brief.
What materials is the Vieques bathtub made from?
The standard Vieques is constructed in steel with exterior finishes available in white, dark grey, or light grey. An optional iroko wood shelf and backrest can be added. A stainless steel version is also produced for outdoor installation.
Can the Vieques bathtub be used outdoors?
Yes. Agape produces a stainless steel variant of the Vieques specifically engineered for outdoor environments, where its freestanding sculptural form maintains the same presence as the interior version.
What is iroko wood, and why is it used in this design?
Iroko is a dense, durable hardwood native to West Africa, valued for its natural resistance to moisture and its warm, golden-brown grain. In the Vieques, it functions as a tactile and visual counterpoint to the steel shell, introducing organic warmth to a precise geometric form.
What is Agape's design philosophy for bathroom objects?
Agape, founded in Mantua in 1973, approaches bathroom design as a discipline of architecture rather than fixture manufacturing. The brand consistently collaborates with leading designers to produce objects that emphasize proportion, materiality, and a considered relationship between body and space.
