Drop Spas: A drop of everyday luxury

By Ndéla Faye

The award-winning Drop Spas are designed for year-round use and can be kept ready to use, no matter the weather. Wellness and relaxation are important for Drop, which is why they believe everyone should treat themselves to indulgent moments daily.

Drop Spas are built using state-of-the-art technology and top-quality materials. The spas have been designed and produced in Finland, which is also why they have been made to withstand extreme weather conditions. Even in freezing cold temperatures, Drop Spas will bring warmth and a touch of luxury into any home.

Drop was originally founded by renowned Finnish designer, Nikolai Ruola. For him, water has always been an element that’s close to his heart. “I found the design of traditional hot tubs uninspiring, and wondered if I could create a modern take – something sleek and streamlined,” Ruola explains. His vision was for spas that would offer customers better ergonomics, be user-friendly and eye-catchingly designed.

And so, Drop was born. The company’s sleek and stylish outdoor spas are durable, easy to maintain and, what’s more, they are always ready for bathing. “When a need to relax strikes, all you have to do is remove the cover and dip in. Our outdoor spa is a place for relaxation and enjoyment in the middle of everyday life. This is a perfect investment for your own well-being,” says Noora Uusitalo, brand and marketing manager at Drop.

Wellbeing is very important to Drop. They want to encourage everyone to take time for themselves, to relax and to practise healthy habits on a daily basis. “A drop of luxury should be a part of everyday life, not just something reserved for holidays or other special occasions,” she continues.

Bringing quality Finnish design to the world

Drop is minimalistic and award-winning Nordic design at its best. The materials used in Drop are sourced locally as much as possible, and have been chosen with durability in mind. The design of the spas has been carefully thought out, from inside the drop-shaped basin to its sleek, refined look and ergonomics.

“Most traditional hot tubs have walls at a 90-degree angle, which means they are not very comfortable to sit in for any great length of time. In Drop spas, a person sits in a comfortable and ergonomic position, in a seat with a slight upward slope,” Uusitalo explains.

Drop spas are currently available in 18 countries around the world, and the company has made a name for itself in a relatively short space of time. Part of Drop’s success – and what makes them unique – is that their spas can be embedded anywhere, and they can be panelled with any material. “Our spas are designed to be tailored according to any clients’ needs and wishes,” Uusitalo says.

The Drop Compact Series – which includes Vuolle Compact, the latest addition to the Drop Spa range – offers customers the same luxury, but in a smaller size. It’s the perfect way to introduce luxury and relaxation to smaller spaces.

Drop has won several design awards in Finland and abroad, including one of the world’s most prestigious design awards, the A’ Design Award, which Drop won in 2019. “We want to bring beauty and luxury to everyday life with our high-quality, simple and elegant designs, which have been inspired by nature. Attention has been paid to even the smallest details, and our spas can enhance any outside space and add a touch of pampering into people’s lives,” Uusitalo concludes.
