Drummonds has unveiled the Newton – a rare new addition to its family of cast iron bathtubs. The Newton is said to offer a playful nod to mid-century Scandinavian design. Generously rounded at the base, the bath's body is subtly fluted to a broad rolled edge at the top, and rests on 4 oversized bun feet.
Drummonds’ creative director, James Lentaigne, said: “In fact, we began with a stark and playful geometry almost reminiscent of Mephis Milano, but the bath’s ultimate iteration became something much more pared back with an airiness and symmetry. Grounded in the human form, the organic curves of Scandinavian design have a soothing harmony that works well here.”
All Drummonds’ baths are made from solid cast iron using the time-honoured sand-casting technique first used by the finest Victorian foundries. Renowned for its mastery of enamelling and hand-finishing, each bath product is considered one-of-a-kind.
The business owns and operates 3 foundries that manufacture cast iron baths, brass fitting and china sanitaryware. Drummonds’ head office and warehouse is located in Surrey in the UK, with flagship showrooms in London and New York.
