One Tower Bridge luxe apartments boast of wooden bathtubs

Combining wood and water together, especially in a bathroom, isn’t a common practice. But Switzerland-based design firm Alegna specialises in creating bathroom dreams of wood. Renowned for their elegant series of bathtubs and sinks made entirely of wood, the brand has announced their association with One Tower Bridge in London.

Being built at the base of one of the most iconic landmark, the high-class luxury apartments offer unobstructed view of the River Thames. Alegna has designed all wood bathtubs, along with complementing ceiling and wall fittings. Designed to offer a long, warm soaking bath with the warmth, texture and authenticity of wood, these bathtubs are exclusively customised for One Tower Bridge.

Unlike the traditional solid wooden bathtubs, Alegna makes use of a complex method to make them completely resistant to water. Real wood veneers are connected to each other, pressed into the form and then sealed with synthetic resin so that the wood can no longer soak up any water.

This makes the bathtubs easy to maintain and guarantees an extremely long life span. Boasting of their green side, the manufacturer also claims that only certified wood from forests with controlled felling and reforestation are used. The bathtub in the Honky Apartment is made of nut tree wood, silky gloss finish. Another bathtub in the Casa Forma Apartment is made of smoked oak.

Fitted with wall and ceiling elements made of the same wood, the bathroom also has an integrated flat TV screen. Alegna has been commissioned to outfit all the 36 luxury apartments and three penthouse duplex flats of Cambridge House with outstanding wood bathtubs. The price of one bathtub, including wall and ceiling elements, is 14,000 euros ( Rs 1,14,100)
