Pearl

The exterior with an irregular, textured, grey finish is the exact opposite of the smooth, shiny, light-coloured interior: it is in this surprising dichotomy that the design idea of ​​the Pearl bathtub, designed by Alberto Apostoli for Kreoo, explodes. The oyster is its creative and evocative principle, with its rough, asymmetrical shell that conceals a tiny opaline universe and its values ​​linked to elegance and the pleasures of life. The resulting design is based on the balance between two aesthetics that interpenetrate and are enriched by the element of water, in which the person can immerse themselves, here a metaphor for the ‘pearl’: the ergonomic internal shell, made of resin with a mother-of-pearl finish, is treated with tiny holes on the bottom of the bathtub from which pressurised air comes out, setting the liquid mass in motion, with a pleasant massaging sensation along the body. It is an effect caused by the Airpool system, integrated for the first time in a natural stone tub, which promotes a wellness dimension, accentuated by the insertion of a thin horizontal light cut and its ability to release the iridescence of the surface.
The external casing is in Olive Grey marble and reveals a material workmanship, handmade and never the same, and an edge that widens at the center, on the long side, to accommodate the controls: a small flare that emphasizes the natural theme of the inspiration for the product – the shell – and which includes the ‘technical machine’ dedicated to the delivery of the hydromassage.
Designed for residential and hospitality environments, Pearl elevates the relationship between the raw material, the light, the water and the refined technology to poetry, in a collection created for the well-being of the person.
