Probably the largest carved stone bathtub

Likely the world’s largest stone bath tub.

Producing river stone bathtubs is certainly a demanding job involving many teams. It all starts with finding the right boulder in an Indonesian river. The task is not easy, as the selected huge pebble is compressed with other stones. In addition, no one has any idea what the shape of the underwater rock is. With each boulder weighing more than 500 kg and the risk of not getting the shape you need after excavating the stone, it sometimes takes days spent searching for and extracting the right rock.

Just getting the material out of the water for the bathtub is the work of many people, a great deal of experience and skill in using simple equipment that can be used in a rushing river.

We managed to obtain a huge boulder as long as 350 cm, extracted it from the river and transported it to the factory. Then, we carefully cut off the top part of this stone and the craftsmen proceeded to excavate the bath by hand. For the first time, we obtained a huge bathing space that holds more than 700 litres of water! The final weight of this bathtub is almost 3 tonnes and packing it into a wooden box required a huge undertaking on the part of our people. The width of the shipping container is 2.35 m. In that case, packing the bathtub in width was impossible, at the same time, inserting it lengthwise required the use of custom forklifts during loading and unpacking at the customer’s site in the USA.

This is the first realisation of this kind of river stone bathtub with such a large mass. Until now, we have realised bathtubs of twin shape and size (2 bathtubs cut from one piece of rock in the middle), round stone bathtubs or a bathtub and basin that was one rock before being cut.

So yes, we have produced what is probably the largest bathtub in the world.
