The Arden is a made-to-order freestanding soaking bathtub carved and hollowed from one solid block of Natural Black Granite. Its elongated form contrasts a rugged natural-face, rough-chiseled exterior with a smooth dark rim and polished inner basin. The tactile stone profile is designed for luxury residences, wellness environments, designer bathrooms, boutique hotels, and hospitality projects. Custom dimensions and project-specific stone, drain, and plumbing coordination can be reviewed before fabrication.
Natural Black Granite is a dense igneous stone with fine mineral variation. Chiseling opens the surface and creates an intentionally irregular gray-to-charcoal exterior, while polishing deepens the tone of the rim and basin. Every selected block and every hand-worked natural face varies. Available-stone photos can be reviewed before fabrication.
Custom size, profile, natural-face texture, polished areas, drain, and overflow requirements may be reviewed for feasibility. OIXDESIGN can provide stone photos and a project-specific shop drawing for approval. Final dimensions, interior profile, wall thickness, drain location, overflow, plumbing interfaces, tolerances, weight, and installation details are confirmed before production.
A solid-granite bathtub is exceptionally heavy. The project architect, structural engineer, plumber, contractor, and professional stone-handling team must review floor loading, waterproofing, service access, doorway and corridor clearances, stairs or elevator limits, lift path, final placement, and plumbing connections. Project-specific structural review is required.
The bathtub is protected in a reinforced export crate for heavy freight. Standard freight excludes stairs, indoor placement, crane service, rigging, unpacking, final positioning, plumbing, and installation unless specifically quoted. Confirm truck access, unloading equipment, clearances, lifting method, and safe site storage before delivery.
Clean with a soft cloth or non-abrasive brush and pH-neutral stone-safe cleaner. Rinse residues from both polished and textured surfaces. Avoid acidic cleaners, abrasive powders, steel wool, harsh bleach products, and aggressive descalers. The textured exterior may require gentle brushing and thorough rinsing; dry visible standing water and residue promptly.
OIXDESIGN supports stone review, custom sizing, shop drawings, finish and texture approval, quantity planning, packing documentation, and delivery-access coordination. Send the project location, dimensions, plumbing plan, installation target, access conditions, and drawings for a tailored quotation.

Each OIXDESIGN granite bathtub is carved from one solid natural granite block. Dense stone construction and hand-finished surfaces create a permanent focal point for residences, spas, villas, resorts, and selected outdoor projects.
Granite does not require a resin coating, topical waterproof membrane, surface film, or routine sealer to function as a bathtub. Normal stone-safe cleaning is sufficient.
OIXDESIGN can coordinate stone review, custom dimensions, finish, drain position, shop drawings, access constraints, multi-unit requirements, reinforced packing, and delivery documentation.
Structural support, access, lifting, plumbing, and professional installation must be confirmed by the project team before ordering.
