           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.
