Somewhere between a throne and a bathtub is Carlo Colombo's Cuna, designed for Italian bathroom manufacturer Antonio Lupi. Cuna is simple, modern, and stately - a free-standing form that brings together form and function, dignity and relaxation.

The height and incline of Cuna’s backrest are designed with comfort and total relaxation in mind, helping to eliminate the fidgeting, twisting and turning we endure in an attempt to achieve a comfortable semi-seated position in standard bathtubs. Furthermore, “the base shape is rectangular, but sides are rounded, another singularity making the tub really comfortable,” explains the company.

Cuna’s designer, Carlo Colombo, is an Italian architect who also designed the Sarto 15 Tub (in cristalplant) for Antonio Lupi and Twelve, a kitchen concept for Poliform.
