Vieques XS Bathtub
FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
In 2008, the wellness oasis on Vieques Island where Patricia Urquiola designed the interiors for the W Hotel, offered the inspiration for the creation of the Vieques bathtub. A ready-made tribute to the bathtub of yesteryear that has become a classic of contemporary design. Made of steel, painted in white or with a dark grey or light grey exterior, it can be completed with an Iroko solid wood shelf and backrest. The stainless steel version now also allows outdoor use. Announced in 2013, a model with reduced dimensions of the Vieques bathtub, Vieques XS, with a length of 155 cm, allows easy insertion even in small spaces.
Oval bathtub in stainless steel painted white (RAL9003) with dark grey (RAL7021) or light grey (RAL7044) exterior. With external overflow system painted white. Available in two sizes: Vieques and Vieques XS. Including backrest and shelf in iroko wood, easy install/removal at will.

MANUFACTURER
AGAPE
The history of Agape began in 1973 and it has crossed 50 years of evolution in design, architecture, technology and lifestyle, interpreting one of the most special rooms in the home, the bathroom. A space Agape sets at the heart of domestic life, the bathroom is devised to last through time and to conjure up profound sensations and emotions every day.
The Agape line is made entirely in Italy with high-quality raw materials, carefully crafted detail and efficient and environmentally friendly production processes, as confirmed by its LEED certification.
Agape is about the project. They are architects at heart and work with architects and designers to design objects to be part of an architecture. Often born from specific architectural needs, the products in our catalogue are capable of establishing intense relationships with the spaces that embrace them to become elements of a carefully curated vocabulary of architecture for the senses.
Agape is about timelessness. When it comes to bathroom architecture, timeless needs call for timeless solutions. Their projects and products defy the zeitgeist and passing trends to offer long lasting solutions thanks to the quality of our materials and to the adherence to good design principles that will never go out of fashion. Agape is about being exquisitely Italian. They are informal and hospitable. They are quintessentially international, yet deeply in love with their riverside headquarters between the Po and the Mincio near Renaissance Mantova.
