Villeroy and Boch's bathtub Aveo was designed by Conran & Partners as part of a full line of bathroom items. The bath's elegant lines were inspired by natural ovoid forms:

The egg is a perfect natural shape, ideal for its function. Like the shell of an egg, the shells of bathroom ceramics must be smooth, supportive and protective of the body in its vulnerable natural state. The high sides of the bath accentuate this feeling of security while promoting total relaxation.

And: Aveo is one of the few free-standing baths that can be fitted as a whirlpool.
