Living Bath, a living bath created by Helena Rocha

The artistic work of the Atelier can be seen in Living Bath, Helena Rocha's space for Natuzzi, which consists of an original “living bath” where it is possible to enjoy a relaxing bath and, at the same time, rest in a lounge integrated in the same room. This new concept is materialized with indirect lighting, natural but very elegant materials that connect with the Brazilian roots of the architect. The hands of the artists of the Atelier have intervened various pieces giving continuity to the color palette and the play of light that have been created in the space.

The lattice of Freehand ceramics served as a starting point for establishing the base color of the Arenas sinks painted by the artists. In addition to the Raw mosaic of Hisbalit that can be seen on the floor of the space, more mosaics can be seen in the sink area that serve as a blank canvas for the artists. The architect was inspired by Japanese Sumi-e painting for the sink area. Bathco Atelier artists tried to capture this ancient technical aesthetic with the utmost respect on the mosaics.

Among the different mosaic formats and colors proposed by Hisbalit, the artists chose the Stone 567 model, a square format in a neutral color to create a 3×3 meter mural. Using brushes, sponges, rags and the stencil technique, they created an ethereal and atmospheric environment inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese Sumi-e painting.

In contrast to the etherealness of the mural, the solidity of the Arenas pedestal washbasin is presented. Helena Rocha opted for two units of this model to complete the toilet area. This is one of the novelties that Bathco has presented in its new general catalog. The two pieces were intervened by the artists of the Atelier to integrate them into Living Bath. To achieve the integration much had to do with the lattice of freehand ceramic made of terracotta from which the main color was extracted and also applied all the tones that can be seen in the project with a subtle difference between the exterior and the well. And as a detail account, matte porcelain valves were installed to complete the set.

Helena Rocha's Living Bath space can be visited from November 3 to 13, 2022 at Marbella Design & Art in the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Marbella.

Many people have participated in the creation of this space and together we have managed to make Helena Rocha's project a reality: Natuzzi as a sponsor of the space, the lattice of Freehand ceramics, the wine cellar of Awesink, mosaics, the mosaics of Hisbalit, mortar, the mortar of Ecoclay and the home automation of Buohome.
