Artesanal-quality, hand-hammered copper is the medium for the latest spa innovation from spa style guru Noel Asmar, founder of www.pedicurebowls.com and www.spauniforms.com.
“Copper has been prized for centuries for its ability to evenly conduct and retain heat,” comments Asmar, who introduced her line of lightweight resin pedicure bowls in an array of delicious colors earlier in 2007. “The world’s finest chefs insist on copper cookware for this reason. And since I love to use copper in the kitchen myself, I realized that copper would be perfectly suited to the spa as well, for the foot soak and deluxe pedicure treatments.”
The gracefully proportioned copper bowl measures 13.75” at the base, flaring to a generous 20” rim. With a comfortable depth of 8 inches, the bowl weighs only 4.5 lbs. making it perfectly portable for pedi service anywhere in the spa. The rustic, hammered surface is compatible with a variety of ethnic-themed spa décor settings, and the natural patina of the metal will grow richer and more burnished with age and regular use.
Asmar comments, “This bowl represents an ideal use of Metal from the classical Feng Shui perspective, since this tradition recommends that metal objects always be smoothly rounded, with no hard edges or sharp corners, for the most harmonious distribution of chi, or energy, in the spa. And, in the Feng Shui tradition, the element of Metal is associated with care of the skin, so this is an especially good fit for Asian-themed spas.”
