# Cornered Circular Soakers The Suri 140 Bathtub Enables a Space-Saving 360-Degree Dip By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-10-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suri-140-bathtub References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/005721.html) & [albatros-idromassaggi.it](http://www.albatros-idromassaggi.it/en/product/suri-140.html) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Space-saving Bathtubs:** Designing bathtubs to fit in corners or other compact spaces offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for bathroom fixtures manufacturers. - **360-degree Accessibility:** Providing users with the freedom of a 360-degree arrangement in bathtubs opens up possibilities for innovative bathing experiences and convenience. - **Luxury in Small Spaces:** Creating luxurious and opulent experiences in more conservative restroom spaces can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for luxury bathroom product makers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bathroom Fixtures Manufacturing:** The trend of designing space-saving bathtubs creates opportunities for bathroom fixtures manufacturers to develop innovative products suitable for compact spaces. - **Interior Design:** The trend of 360-degree accessibility in bathtubs offers opportunities for interior designers to create unique and functional bathroom layouts. - **Luxury Home Décor:** The trend of bringing luxury to small spaces presents opportunities for luxury home décor companies to offer high-end products for compact bathrooms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Japanese Snack Box-Inspired Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-starck-box.md) - [Removable Bathtub Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtrope.md) - [Customizable Minimalist Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acquabella-noon-slate.md) - [Sophisticated High-Design Bath Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soaking-tub.md) - [Symmetrical Curved Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-alberts-barcelona-collection.md) - [Malleable Removable Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtope.md) - [Contemporary Public Bathhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/round-about-baths.md) - [High-End Walk-In Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-standard.md) - [AI-Enhanced Contemporary Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-and-co.md)
