EOOS designs Nahho flotation tub for Duravit

Using the tub, the user is able to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness as he or she drifts into a state of total relaxation.

The name 'Nahho' is intended to encapsulate this experience - the word derives from Old High German for 'dug-out canoe', which the product has been inspired by.

Specific requirements have to be met in order to float in a bathtub as if in a dug-out.

The most important prerequisite is a totally relaxed - that is totally stretched out - posture.

For this purpose, Nahho features a special headrest that has been inspired by the 'bushman' neck rest.

On the basis of this archaic model, the designers have created a modern bushman featuring an organic curvature that gently nestles the bather's neck, thereby keeping the body above water.

Those who prefer to have their ears underwater can simply remove the lower part of the bushman and slide down further into the bathtub.

The specially developed sound module uses Bluetooth to establish a connection with a sound source, such as an MP3 player or mobile phone, and also to select the track and volume - so the design of the bathtub isn't impaired by any operating elements.

The bathtub itself serves as a sounding body.

The sound is transmitted via structure-borne sound converters, ensuring optimum enjoyment of sound and music - both above and under water.

The tub is illuminated by indirect coloured lighting.

Technical elements such as tap fittings, waterfall taps or spotlights are concealed behind a furniture flap in white or matt graphite finish.
