There are many uses given to copper around the world, they go from the pipes in our kitchens and bathrooms to the wiring of the electric web across our cities and the country. There is also a significant presence of copper in all the electronic gadgets we use every day in our modern, technology focused way of life; examples go from the coffee maker to the PC on our desk. But these are not the only places, not the only forms copper can be present in our lives. For many centuries, artisans of a small town in Mexico’s western mountains have made a living of making beautiful pieces of art from raw pieces of copper. These art pieces can take many forms; jars, flower pots, plates, sinks and of course, beautiful handmade copper bathtubs.
During the last months the Mexican company Adobes Market has been promoting their handmade copper bathtubs to the world, focusing its promotion efforts on letting know all people interested in having one item like this the great characteristics of a copper bathtub that in the end is equal to having a piece of art in your bathroom. A piece of art you can use and feel everyday.
The manufacturing of each of these tubs is a sculpting task for the Mexican artisans. They usually work in teams and by carefully using their hammers and chisels they patiently shape the copper plates, previously softened in a wood fire, inch by inch into the desired form of a bathtub. Once the shape has been attained then they proceed to heat the entire copper tub and then “patina” (clear or dark) is applied to the surface of the bathtub in order to protect it from water and the elements, making the lifetime of one of these tubs that of many years.
At the end the result of all this patient and careful work is one of the most beautiful and stylish pieces of furniture you can add to your bathroom. A copper sculpture made for soaking, one piece of art waiting for you to take a comfortable bath in it.
