Ofuro, designed by architect Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, is distinguished by its soft lines, bathtub inspired by the ancient ritual of the Japanese bath and privileges associated relaxation, harmony and balance mind and body. The edges are high, surrounds and protects the complete immersion of the body.
