The Melody tub by Poolspa, a European hydromassage design company, is inspired by the shapes created by Finnish designer Alvar Aalto. The bathtub bares a striking, almost identical resemblance to Aalto’s Savoy vase and the Alvar Aalto tray.
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.
