Hot-rod bath - It's all about aesthetics and speed!

Naveen Kumar / Sep 19 2007

These insanely gorgeous luxury bathroom fixtures have been created by artist Tetsuya Nakamura. The curvilinear fixtures look like some kind of alien transportation system. The set features a tub, a pair of sinks, a step designed for insertion into a stairwell, and a decorative column. The fixtures have been sculpted from fiber-reinforced plastic and painted with colorful fluid patterns to stir up a sense of speed. Customers are also given the option of customizing the set with their own paint job, body modifications, and part upgrades. No doubt, these fixtures speak more about aesthetics rather than of functionality. The tub costs 3 million yen ($26,000) while the other items cost 1.5 million yen ($13,000) each. Has he hidden an engine too somewhere in the tub? Anyway, the set is perfect for those who are looking out to give some strange yet classy looks to their bathrooms.
