Rebirth of The Iconic Papillon Bathtub
The award-winning Papillon bathtub has been reimagined in Verde Indio, a rich and multi-hued marble. The Papillon bathtub is a signature design from Stone Forest, designers and creators of home and garden products sculpted from the world’s most beautiful natural materials for more than 30 years.
The exquisite Verde Indio marble boasts a rich green hue reminiscent of lush forests and tranquil landscapes. Its intricate veining and polished surface add depth and sophistication to any space. Carved from a single block of Verde Indio marble and following the sensuous lines and generous proportions of the original Papillon bathtub shape, this new version exudes luxury.
“Once I saw this marble, I was enamored with its deep tones,†says Michael Zimber, founder of Stone Forest. “We like a challenge, and we also know that our Papillon bathtub has become one of our signature designs – it didn’t take long for me to decide to produce a version in Verde Indio.â€
The Papillon bathtub is 68″w x 44″d x 26″h, weighs 1800 pounds and is available through authorized Stone Forest showrooms.
