SAINT TROPEZ VILLA

India Mahdavi has always been fascinated by the raw property of glass, its texture, and singularity given by the tiny bubbles and imperfections. She wanted to obtain the same effect for this bespoke shower in her interior design project in a villa in the South of France.

This turnkey project, including installation, was engineered and developed by WonderGlass based on an aesthetical draft by Mahdavi.

The craftsmanship of glass and its unique handmade qualities were obtained by incorporated two glass slabs. The ‘raw effect’ base slabs facing the shower’s exterior interact with internal tempered panels. The ingenious solution preserved Mahdavi’s artisanal focus, while future-proofing the design with additional durability for this often wet and humid environment.

The metal profiles of the structure were intended to be minimal and enhance; however, not overwhelm the glass. Owing to the weight of the large panels, custom-coloured stainless-steel frames were designed and fitted. Every detail of the project was custom engineered from a technical design point of view to achieve the best result.

This project was completed within sixty days, from survey to complete final installation of the product.
