Stone Forest has announced that its Facet bathtub has been chosen as one of the winners of Architectural Record’s 2023 Record Products of the Year award in the Kitchen & Bath category. This annual awards program reviews and judges products from around the world. The 52 winners were chosen by an independent jury of U.S.-based architects and designers. 

Carved from single blocks of natural stone, Facet is an architectural statement piece that is the embodiment of a functional sculpture, emphasizing the simple beauty of natural stone. Handcrafted to create subtle flat planes that reflect and refract light when viewed from different angles, the unique faceted exterior makes a strong architectural statement. Taking three weeks to complete, the ovoid shape is squared at each end to provide a small rest for accouterments, while the interiors are smooth and inviting. 

It is available in two luxurious stones, antique gray limestone, also called “bluestone,” and noce basalt, which are sourced from quarries throughout Europe. As with other stone tubs, the material takes on the ambient temperature of the room, creating a vessel for experiencing soul healing calm and the suspension of time.
