Labradorite Bath with 24K Gold

Labradorite Bath with 24K Gold

Sculptural Masterpiece by artist Jan Carel Koster

Unique art object, designed as a 1- to 4-person bath
This exclusive bath is more than a functional object: it is a monumental sculpture of applied art.

Carved from a single solid block of at least 16,000 kilograms of labradorite, it combines natural power with aesthetic perfection.
The interior is completely lined with 24-karat gold, elevating the bath to an exceptionally luxurious and energetically powerful wellness space. Each piece is made to order and entirely by hand, with only one able to be created per year.

From 1 to 4 people – custom-made in form and experience

The bath is custom-made as a 1-, 2-, 3- or even 4-person version, depending on desires and available space. The sculptural exterior form is preserved, while the interior volume and contours are tailored to the intended use. This creates an individual artwork and a personal retreat.

Applied art in the bathroom

Jan Carel Koster, sculptor and multidisciplinary artist, designed this bath as a bridge between sculpture and wellness. No compromise between function and form, but a complete integration of both.

The bath is simultaneously an eye-catcher and a place of rest, a contemporary temple where matter and experience come together. Every line, each facet and every detail is hand-carved.

Design sketch: Corner bath with integrated waterfall

This original pencil sketch shows an early design of a corner bath with natural framing and an integrated waterfall. The sculptural form fits seamlessly into a corner arrangement and emphasizes the interaction between stone, water and space.

Each bath is custom-designed and can be specifically adapted to the architecture of the space.

Integrated waterfall for visual tranquility and flow

The bath is equipped with a subtle, integrated waterfall that flows over the edge into the bath. This supply not only ensures continuous water circulation, but also enhances the sensory experience. The gentle flowing sound contributes to mental relaxation and makes bathing a calming ritual.

The power of labradorite

Labradorite is known for its protective, healing and intuition-enhancing properties. By literally bathing in this gemstone, the user finds themselves in a natural source of power.
The characteristic labradorescence, blue and green color flashes, comes to life with every play of light, like a living surface. In combination with 24-karat gold, a unique atmosphere of peace, strength and purification emerges.

Artisanally carved – no machine production

Each bath is completely hand-carved. This intensive artisanal process takes months and makes each piece unique. The natural appearance of the stone is maintained, while the interior is carefully filed, polished and lined with gold leaf. This method results in an unparalleled appearance and an exceptional tactile experience.
