A round jacuzzi is not necessarily reserved for 300-square-foot luxury washrooms, as the Suri 140 Bathtub demonstrates. The user can get the freedom of a 360-degree arrangement with the majority of it still providing an open view away from the walls.
Massimo Farinatti's solution to this was to design a soaker specially configured for installation in the corner of the bathroom, tucking it away while avoiding the awkwardness of creating hard-to-reach crannies around the backside of the bath. By working with the unusual shape produced between the marriage of a circle and a square, the basin came to include broad 9 centimeter edges for the placement of shampoo and soap products. The Albatros Suri 140 Bathtub affords a taste of opulence for more conservative restroom spaces.
