They are installed mainly in the center of the room, on a beautiful elevation of wood, so that all attention was focused only on the bathtub as the main element of the composition.
Bowl of wood with a rectangular shape. Rather popular are massive bowls of wood of rectangular shape, for the production of which plywood or natural wood is used. At first it may seem that it is comfortable to take water procedures in it, but this opinion is wrong. Being in a bathtub of this shape, you can only thanks to the built-in inside of the curved smooth bed, as the design is very rigid and rough. These models look quite stylish and are mainly presented in the style of a fairly rigid minimalism.

The most popular type of bowls made of wood is different from other products. Their highlight is that their design does not look like the stylish design of today. This model can be characterized by deliberate rusticity and archaic, which generally attracts much more than cool simple minimalism and sophistication. For the manufacture of these models is used simultaneously, both complex and quite simple technology. Such products in the form of a board and bottom, built from individual boards, which are attached to each other with the help of copper and brass special hoops, which are the true descendants of wooden barrels. In this case, reliable tightness is achieved by fitting all available parts to each other. The same protection against moisture is provided as for barrels. Models with such an unusual design have an oval or round shape, which is directly related to the peculiarities of production.
