Rapsel wins WALLPAPER* best in Bath Award 2010 for Ofuro

9 de Febrero de 2010

DESIGNERS MATTEO THUN & ANTONIO RODRIGUEZ WIN AGAIN

RAPSEL, the innovative luxury sanitary company based in Milan, is pleased to announce that the custom-designed OFURÒ basin won the prestigious WALLPAPER* Best in Bath award for 2010 in London

OFURÒ is inspired by the private Japanese bath which serves in particular to relax and recuperate from daily routine. OFURÒ allows a bather to soak up to the throat in warm water, as Japanese bathing culture and wisdom has illuminated throughout the ages. The larch wood of this comfortable tub was dried in several work steps and formed and brought together in a special procedure. The clean design is pared down to the essentials, which harmoniously emerge from within the inherent wood grain. OFURÒ is organic, aesthetic, sustainable and comfortable: totally custom fit.

According to designer Matteo Thun, "OFURÒ is a mirror of what we call 'No-Design' and is a beautiful product that we enjoyed creating exclusively with RAPSEL

Together with the awards of the famous US magazine Interior Design ‘Best in bath’ for ‘ONE, Il bagno che non c’è’ (designed as well by Thun/Rodriguez) and the Good Design Award of the Chicago Atheneum Museum for ARNE, (designed by Soda Design Nasrallah/Horner), the Wallpaper* Award is already the third important design prize for Rapsel within a few weeks. What a start into 2010!
