The project was to create a bathtub that was a unique piece of furniture which married traditional and modern design, as well as materials, and could fit well into any atmosphere. The name "Double C" comes from the shapes of the two main components that have been integrated into the project: interlocking "C"-shaped pieces of wood and Cristalan solid surface from Schock. The tub was designed to fit well either against a wall or in the center of a room, and customized with lighting openings, for options such as LED and water-proof lights inside the tub itself.
The main project challenge was to achieve a simple design with smooth lines without losing practicality.
The materials chosen to create a smooth and simple design were a warm natural wood and a black opaque solid surface material. The project was built with completely welded junctions, and the black solid surface component was made to appear seamless. To maintain both the appearance and practicality, nozzles were rested into the solid surface material itself, rendering them invisible, and the tub was equipped with an innovative overflow device that operates on the principle of communicating tanks.
"DoubleC" has been awarded the first prize in "Residential Bath" Category in the framework of the "2006 Surface Fabrication Design Contest" organized by "Surface Fabrication" magazine, reference poit for the entire solid surface sector.
