This striking piece is a masterclass in industrial upcycling, reimagining a classic mid-century cast iron bathtub into a bold, avant-garde sofa. The original tub has been expertly "sectioned" to create a deep, ergonomic seating area while retaining the smooth, white porcelain-enamel interior and the iconic rolled rim. It is supported by a custom-engineered, heavy-duty steel tubular frame finished in a matte champagne-gold, which mimics the footprint of the original tub while providing a sleek, modern elevation. Historically, cast iron tubs rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; by repurposing one into furniture, this piece bridges the gap between Victorian utility and contemporary "found-object" art. The item is in excellent refurbished condition, featuring a freshly recoated, high-gloss white interior and a structurally sound, newly fabricated base, though it retains the authentic character marks—such as the original drain and overflow holes—that highlight its past life. Dimensions: 160cm x 54cm x 79cm (h)
