Kerid, a new soaking tub

Close your eyes. Imagine the deep relaxation of a warm soak, water caressing your skin.

Now, picture the exhilarating rush of a cold plunge, awakening your senses. Inspired by ancient Nordic soaking rituals, Kerid brings these sensory experiences home. Kerid is a promise. A promise of daily renewal, where mind and body find harmony.

Inspired by Nordic bathing rituals, the Kerid bath is designed for deep immersion rather than traditional bathing, as part of a home spa experience. Kerid can be used as a hot soaking tub for relaxation, or a cold plunge tub to awaken the senses - a therapeutic experience that can be used indoors or outdoors.

Victoria + Albert’s proprietary material, made from a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and a special resin, is especially suitable for this style of bath. The surface will not be affected by rapid changes in temperature, and can even be installed outside, resisting damage from UV rays.

Cold water immersion – a type of cryotherapy – dates back at least three millennia. Immersion can decrease inflammation and speed up recovery from injuries. There is evidence that it reduces stress, and can improve sleep and mood.

Similarly, the benefits of a meditative soak in deep, warm water include improved circulation, relief for aching muscles and stiffness, enhanced skin hydration and general mental well-being. A warm soaking bath is intended to be peaceful and harmonious; a restorative experience that is deeply relaxing and meditative.
