Drummonds has unveiled a new addition to its family of cast iron bathtubs, the Newton. Said to offer a playful nod to mid-century Scandi design, the Newton features a generously rounded base. The bath’s body is subtly fluted to a broad rolled edge at the top and rests on four 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 three foundries that manufacture cast iron baths, brass fittings, and china sanitaryware. Drummonds’ head office and warehouse are located in Surrey, UK, with flagship showrooms in London and New York.
