Why, because this blog features transparent baths amongst other things.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Fibreglass bath designed by Kirill Myagkov<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that this see-through bath designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/16328089\/Future-Bathroom-Revelation\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"blank\">Kirill Myagkov<\/a> is stunning, but we do wonder how we would look in it. Call us vain, but we can\u2019t help worrying that ample bottoms will be magnified, distorted and squashed. The end result could be less than flattering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Made from fibreglass, this modern take on a slipper bath blends the contemporary and the traditional with beautiful results. From its black ball and claw feet (as opposed to traditional white or polished silver) and its modern yet period style tap, it definitely has the makings of a statement bath.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We think we could probably get over our body issues and enjoy its deep proportions. Not to mention embracing the smart screen cleverly displayed in a traditional frame, although we\u2019d be tempted to swap it for a wall mounted TV.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" \" src=\"https:\/\/m1.behance.net\/rendition\/modules\/111450283\/disp\/1a68a5eae05c70f39234cf153af84652.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/16328089\/Future-Bathroom-Revelation\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"blank\">Kirill Myagkov<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Glass bath designed by Stern McCafferty<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Again, this bath leaves nothing to the imagination where your body is concerned, but you do have to marvel at its simple yet ingenious design. Think wet room with a drain in the tiled floor but a transparent bath instead of a glass shower enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bath designed by Boston architect and design company, <a href=\"http:\/\/sternmccafferty.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"blank\">Stern McCafferty<\/a>, is literally a piece of thick glass between two tiled walls. We\u2019re guessing they used plenty of sealant, but the effect is brilliant.
