Pleated decor: Bowie from MTI Baths

MTI Baths has launched its new Bowie freestanding tub. With a “pleated” exterior, the Bowie adds unexpected texture to the bathroom. Inspired by ancient Egyptian techniques once used to embellish tunics, the intricate pleating detail on the tub’s exterior is a new look for MTI that was developed in collaboration with Source, an Atlanta-based design firm.

As part of the brand’s Boutique Collection, the Bowie measures 70 inches x 35 inches with a bathing well intended for the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. Offered as a soaker or air bath, each Bowie tub is made to order and hand-crafted from MTI’s signature SculptureStone material, a mostly organic mixture of ground natural minerals and high-performance resins that gives the look and feel of molded stone. 

Bowie is available in white or biscuit with eight different exterior color options as well as a choice of matte or highly polished gloss finishes. The finished product is seamlessly solid and durable with a nonporous surface that is stain-and mildew-resistant and easy to clean and maintain.
