The laundry tub is made of wooden slats. It has a circular plan and is equipped with two handles. It also has a hole at the base, closed by a cap, for water to escape without the need to lift the entire tub.

Lauandi wants to bring this object back into the contemporary world, which has been a symbol of a culture now gone by, without neglecting any detail or the characteristic that distinguishes it, precisely the hole. (lat. Lauandi).
