Special brew

‘Bain Culinaire’ bath blends, by Studio

Appétit, Quinteassential and Laufen

Studio Appétit

Ido Garini’s Arnhem-based studio

focuses on the culinary arts, working

on objects, food installations and edible

cosmetics to make us examine how

we experience food. studioappetit.com

Quinteassential

This British company was founded

by Bernadine Tay, a consultant with

a background in biomedical science

who has developed tea experiences

for Amanda Wakeley, Wedgwood

and more. quinteassential.co.uk

Laufen

Synonymous with bathroom innovation,

this Swiss company has enlisted

luminaries such as Patricia Urquiola

to create ranges in its breakthrough

material, SaphirKeramik. laufen.com

When Ido Garini hit on the idea of

designing a ‘teabag’ for the bath,

he wanted to make sure his creation

was sustainable. So, with the help

of Laufen, he created a caddy and

some accompanying accessories using

stainless steel and Corian. We then

tasked Quinteassential, an expert in

the therapeutic qualities of herbs,

to create three blends that soothe and

salve as you soak in the tub: Focus

(with centring Japanese sencha, lemon

verbena and sweet passion flower herb);

Refresh (smoky Yunnan pu-erh, cedar

wood and basil); and Breathe (mediative

Chinese oolong with sandalwood).
