In a recent press release, Koto announced the launch of the first in a series of Koto Elements, the Koto wood fired hot tub. Hand crafted to the highest possible specifications, seating 2-4 people with an ultra quiet hydro massage system, the Koto hot tub is designed to allow you to disconnect.
According to their press release, ‘The connection between mind, body and nature is what ties together a person’s thoughts, feelings and their overall physical wellbeing.In our current, hectic lives, we are increasingly craving moments to slow down, calm the mental chatter and reconnect with our senses. By combining the power of nature and traditional spa elements you can experience a cosy yet invigorating spa experience in the comfort of your own home.’
The Koto studio co-founded by Zoe, Johnathon and Theo designs modular houses, cabins and sculptural small buildings, with each one drawing inspiration from Scandinavian design and culture. Co-founders, Johnathon and Zoë Little, returned from living on the shores of Norway’s fjords with a deep appreciation of the local aesthetic and environment.
As the brand progressed, Koto began looking further east to the minimalist world of Japanese design and their focus on social functionality. This is something that has always fascinated co-founder and architect Theo Dales. Koto shares their emphasis on clean and simple details that provide a sense of calm. This exploration has helped Koto’s designs evolve into the carefully-considered works they are today.
“As both designers and parents, we recognise the dynamic relationship between nature, quality design and one of life’s great luxuries – spending time with friends and family. Each and every Koto home embodies this ethos.” says Zoe Little, co-founder.
