The super small freestanding bathtub design
MASTELLO, designed by Mario Ferrarini
Mastello is an ergonomic bathtub. It is beautiful yet at the same time very functional, thanks to the comfortable integrated seat and the edge that rises gently towards one of the ends and acts as a headrest. Mastello is also very versatile and thanks to its small size can fit also in smaller bathrooms. Surprisingly, in fact, the tub is only 135 cm but it can comfortably accommodate people over 195 cm. tall. ‘Mastello’ in Italian is an old wooden tub used in the past for bathing which inspired the design of this bathtub. The “Mastello” in old Italian houses used to be placed in the middle of the room and it was the centre around which to play, tell stories, and share emotions. Made in Flumood®, Mastello is characterized by fluid lines and by a candid surface totally without interruptions.
Flumood® is a material composed, for the most part, from aluminum hydroxide and synthetic resins with low styrene content. Thanks to its intrinsic characteristics it’s perfect to make washbasins and tops, but reveal his ductility even when employed for making other elements. The versatility of Flumood® allows to create any form, to break new ground, to interpret different needs.

The organic freestanding bathtub design
DUNE TUB, designed by Mario Ferrarini
Dune is a freestanding bathtub inspired by organic design. Born from a simple sign, harmonious, without edges, it evokes the shape of sand dunes, as its name “Dune” suggests. It is the perfect design piece to create a small oasis of wellbeing inside a bathroom. The tub design is developed circularly but the shape of the upper edge (sinusoidal development) and the two off center circles that define the external shell and the seat of the tub gives you altogether a different view depending on the angle of the observer. Internally, it is designed according to various angles of inclination, so you can decide among different postures.
