Agape Face à Face Bathtub

June 15, 2022

Agape introduces the Face à Face bathtubs and washbasins by Jean Nouvel Design, built of two-dimensional stone slabs that seem to brush against one another, exude a stark, geometric charisma, commanding a space like monuments in an urban landscape. Marking the launch of the collaboration between Agape and the French architect, their purity of form showcases the natural beauty of marble. 

Thanks to an ingenious system of invisible joints, the bathtub is constructed so that its surfaces appear to simply approach one another side by side. The effect is both imposing and light, essential and material. The surfaces brush gently against one another, and thanks to the precise inclination of the panels that become the backrests, the bathtub is transformed into a cozy nest where you can sit, stretch out, read and relax. 

The poetics of two dimensionality continues in the collection’s washbasins, available in the countertop, wall-mounted and freestanding versions. All channeled thanks to the suitably inclined plane of the basin, they combine vertical and horizontal surfaces for a rigorous architectural structure. A towel bar or storage component may be added. Abstract objects that use contrast to enhance, like the bathtub, the almost baroque splendor of the marble.
