The Mosely Folding Bath Tub Company revolutionized bathing in the 19th century by offering a space-saving, convenient bathtub that could be hidden away when not in use.
These folding bathtubs were critical for urban families, allowing them to maintain sanitation in cramped living conditions where traditional bathrooms were impractical.
Advertised as a solution for those with no running water, the Mosely tub could be turned into a hot bath swiftly and used virtually anywhere in the home.
The combination sofa and bathtub introduced by Bruschke & Ricke proved too dangerous, highlighting the complexities of merging multifunctional furniture with safety.
