Melanie makes wall works for interiors. Often quite
sculptural, or in deep relief, her inspiration comes from her
experiences when sailing. She interprets aspects of that
lifestyle, its strong contrasts, and other natural phenomena
using a beautiful, traditional metal – pewter.
This work is highly contemporary and has a visual language
that can be understood in design terms by all cultures. The
metal is bright and reflective and the surface is animated by
light reflecting off lively formed textures. Sometimes it is
chemically darkened or richly coloured by traditional gilding.
Works can be commissioned for specific placement in offices,
atriums or stylish homes. In series or as individual pieces,
these unique designs present a contemporary and fashionable
ambiance for any environment.

CABUCHON’S NEW DEEP SOAKING TUB - THE YASAHIRO
The Yasahiro is a new deep soaking tub from British
manufacturer Cabuchon Bathforms. Drawing on 24 years of
soaking tub design, it incorporates everything the company
has learned about comfort, access and function.
In 1991, Cabuchon launched the Imersa, the world’s first
contemporary soaking tub. Since then, it has continuously
developed its designs. The Yasahiro represents the
culmination of this evolutionary process.
Key features include a sculpted back-rest, a low seat
that optimises bather comfort, a soft headrest and long
integrated armrests. These aid entry and engender a
relaxed, well-supported position. The large footwell permits
comfortable showering.
Suitable for incorporating an optional hydrotherapy system,
it comes with a 25-year guarantee and has a space-saving
footprint. It may be set in a corner, freestanding or sunken.
