From Barbara Sallick, the co-founder of Waterworks, The Ultimate Bath is a beautifully curated collection of dream bathrooms, designed by some of the most talented architects and designers working today. In her previous books, The Perfect Bath and The Perfect Kitchen, Sallick walked readers through the creation of stylish, functional spaces. With the renewed emphasis on the importance of home, this latest book takes bath design a step further. The Ultimate Bath devotes its elegantly illustrated chapters to the world’s most luxuriously designed bathrooms, drawn from a wide-ranging list of contributors, including Nate Berkus, Ray Booth, Commune Designs, Drake/Anderson, Gil Schafer, Suzanne Kasler, Nickey Kehoe, McAlpine, Brigette Romanek, Miles Redd, and Summer Thornton.
These are baths that, while grounded in timeless elements, surprise and enchant. There are grand baths of high style with elegant mirrored and marble surfaces. There are bold rooms of rich maximalist patterns and color. There are strictly tailored spaces of great restraint and serenity. And finally, there are baths with restorative views of the garden or forest — or in the middle of nature themselves. Gathered, these spaces seduce, delight, and serve as a visual blueprint for readers looking to create refuge and beauty at home.
In that spirit, this lecture will explore everything from the vintage objects and artistry that inform Waterworks fittings to the vital role that time-honored craftsmanship plays in the company’s designs. With the help of stunning images, the audience will also be introduced to an array of "Ultimate Baths” — spaces that celebrate the unexpected and inspire design lovers to bring a magical quality to their baths, no matter how modest or grand.
Barbara Sallick co-founded Waterworks—the premier luxury brand of kitchen and bath fittings, fixtures, furniture, and accessories—with her husband, Robert Sallick, in 1978. For decades, she served as the company’s senior vice president of design and is also the author of Waterworks: Inventing Bath Style, The Perfect Bath, and The Perfect Kitchen. Sallick is chair of the dean’s advisory council at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, serves as the honorary chair of Rooms with a View, and is a member of the Decorators Club.
