DR Bathtub
Made by Agape
Designed by Marcio Kogan
The DR bathtub marks Agape's first collaboration with Marcio Kogan and Studio MK27, the São Paulo practice known for its disciplined sensuousness and its ability to dissolve the boundary between interior and the natural world. That same sensibility defines this piece.
Conceived as a vessel for two, DR moves away from clinical geometry toward something warmer and more bodily. Its silhouette flows without sharp interruption, the curves expressing comfort rather than decoration. A bent wood exterior gives the form an organic warmth rarely found in bathroom objects, while a solid surface interior ensures a smooth, resilient bathing surface.
- Bent wood exterior with organic, continuous curvature
- Solid surface interior for durability and ease of care
- Concrete versions available for outdoor installation
- Designed for two, with a freestanding, sculptural presence
Concrete versions extend the design to open-air environments, where the material's weight and developing patina suit conditions that wood cannot. Each configuration, whether indoors or out, carries the same unhurried sense of proportion that defines Studio MK27's architectural work.
