What is an ofuro?
A short, deep bath built for sitting upright in still water — not lying down in a few centimetres of it.
Soaking, not washing.
An ofuro is a short, deep soaking bath built for sitting upright in deep water rather than reclining. Traditional Japanese bathing separates washing from soaking — you wash first, then enter the bath to soak. Because the bath itself is never used for washing, it can be built for depth instead of length: a shorter footprint, held at a level where the water reaches well above the waist while seated.
The proportions, not the construction.
AQVA's deep-soak baths take the ofuro's seated, upright immersion — not its materials or its origin. Every AQVA bath is made to order in Melbourne, in AQVA's own material, not timber, and not imported.
A medical-grade silk surface stays colour-fast and UV stable, and still presents as day one after twenty years. SphearCore™ tri-fold construction supports thermal retention and structural integrity. The result is a genuinely deep, seated bath built and backed in Australia.
Three baths. One clear choice.
Insert or freestanding, bath or spa with stainless-steel hydrotherapy jets — subject to live configuration for the model you choose.
Every model is 820mm deep as an insert, 905mm high freestanding.
