Unfortunately no foodie photos...
Because I was hungry eating most of the time! The second picture was taken by a master photographer for the hotel postcard--I merely scanned it.
Hugli makes a few other items that are sold at the shop. I saw paperweights (which are not so thoughtful), candle holders and pen holders and pizza (pans) plates, which are basically flat but circular pieces of Quarzit that can keep the food very warm for a while. I also got a cap by a Swiss lady designer Ida Gut designed by Zumthor--really a hybrid between a beret and a base-ball cap, which is interesting.

And furniture!
I forgot to add: the shop also sells all the furnishings designed by Zumthor in the hotel. The lounge chair is really quite comfortable and beautiful. Hugli also designed a full Quarzit wash basin that extends from the ground to the waist level in an inve...
I love therme Vals, I used to stop by travelling from Turin to Munich...
Great place, the purist architecture is so inspiring, reminded me a great time! Thanks Luc (not from me the Photo as you spend most of the time daydreaming in hot water, downloaded from Vals website)...
I can empathize with that!
Yes, and photography is forbidden in the bath for good reasons . That said, when I was really excited about the building many years ago, I would sneaked my Ixus in with a novel and click, click, click... I also like that pool you showed--the harmony/acous...
