The Melody Tub by Poolspa Echoes the Work of Alvar Aalto

The organically shaped Melody tub by Poolspa is part of the company’s exclusive line and can carry 225 liters of water with a depth of 48cm. It is available in either a regular or hydromassager version and in two colors: white and eurowhite.
