Designed to fit anywhere, the 'One Touch Spa Tub' gives you a luxury soak while saving space. The tub was shaped to be [sleek and tall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antoniolupi-tubo) in order to help you conserve water and enjoy advanced features.

Designer Javier Bao built the concept tub to bring convenience to your [home spa experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-collection-1). Much like a massage chair, the tub comes fully equipped with [high-power jets, advanced temperature controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-water-massage-system) and automatic water-dispensing features.

Although the tub was built to conserve space, it also saves water. The tub only requires half of the amount of water that's needed for a traditional tub. In addition, you can choose from three different water levels so that you only use the required amount of water.
