Stone Forest's artists bring out the natural, stately beauty of the materials, giving each bathtub a quiet, elegant feel.
Stone Forest functional sculptures have enjoyed a passionate response in residential and commercial sites nationwide and are specified into projects from New York to Japan. Stone Forest's ability to create custom designs is without parallel.
Since 1989, Stone Forest has created unparalleled hand-carved granite sculptures that combine the elegant simplicity of Japanese and contemporary design. Stone Forest creates all of their sculpture and water fountains, ranging from traditional Japanese to monolithic contemporary.
For example, our black granite will occasionally contain traces of silver, gold, or copper. As we extract stone from different areas of a quarry, the colour of each block of granite will vary.
Each block of stone also has its own personality; expressed in slight differences in the make up of its crystalline structure. This personality is further expressed in the stone by anomalies such as veining, minor pitting, or areas of enhanced colouration
.
Some small diamond saws and hand-held polishing tools are sometimes used, but because the stone bathtubs are not “machined” each will be a little different and therefore unique. They will not be perfectly symmetrical and there will be small variations in size.
Much of the carving is done by hand with calculated blows from a hammer and chisel.
Stone Forest bathtubs are carved from a single block of natural stone. Each stone tub reflects the individual character of the block from which it was carved as well as the hands of the craftsman.
