wood shelf is integrated on the front.
The shelves are shaped and punctuated
by three vertical elements and allow
storage of accessories and towels ensuring
maximum functionality, while the
rounded inside and the gentle slope of the
sides provide the comfort of the tub.
Pearl is also born from the combination
of two materials, but also of two
antithetical concepts: the collection
designed by Alberto Apostoli recalls the
motif of the oyster and its duality with
the irregular exterior, reproduced with
Olive Grey marble through a material
processing that is handcrafted and never
the same, and the smooth and clear
interior, obtained using a resin with a
mother-of-pearl finish. The Airpool
system is added, with its pleasant micro
hydromassage system dedicated to well-
being.
Kalypso and Venice are instead
produced entirely in marble, both
customisable in a selection of seven
different materials. Kalypso draws
inspiration from the neoclassical style,
maintaining the harmonious profiles, but
made more essential, with the slightly
higher shape relating to back support.
Venice is an elongated oval of extreme
elegance, its progressively thinned marble
delivers a streamlined and light edge and
an encasement that enhances the texture
of the natural stone.
A smooth basin also defines Kora:
it appears like a monolith carved from
a single block with an upper profile at
variable heights which facilitates entry
and creates a highly refined result. The
tub is raised on a trestle with a gold, dark
bronze or matte black finish, and appears
to float on this slender metal. dw
