Karim Rashid is nothing but a legend in the design continuum and for good reason. Seldom does his creations stick to the norm and usually are path-taking. A legend in the contemporary design scene, Rashid is always two steps ahead. His new AX20 bathtub also stays true to his sensibility and is different since it opts for round organic shapes than linearity.  The AX20 bathtub has been made of marble and is a synthesis of geometry and craftsmanship.
Says Rashid:
“I wanted a softness that would semantically speak to the act of cleaning oneself in a natural organic context.”
