Blue Moon Tub. Manufactured by Duravit.

The Blue Moon Tub by Duravit offers a new concept in hot tubs—the hot tub pool. It’s deeper than most tubs, so you’ll feel immersed in a pool of water; in fact, no part of your body should touch the sides or bottom (except your neck, which will rest on the edge), making it seem as if you’re floating.

Though it has a water depth of 530 mm, its overall size is modest at 140 x 140 cm. The Blue Moon Tub also “looks like a pool” due to “its square corpus and round tub.” Blue Moon has many things going for it: the circle within the square gives it a nice geometry; the colored lighting creates a relaxing mood (save the candles for a romantic dinner or the next blackout); and the size makes it attractive to apartment owners. Additionally, the Blue Moon can be installed against a wall or as a freestanding unit—an option that more and more bathroom designers are taking advantage of. It would also go nicely tucked in a corner, where its square shape might be emphasized.

The tub’s size gives the Blue Moon a great advantage—all the luxury of a larger tub without the bulk. For those wanting a spa experience who might also be wanting in space, the Blue Moon is ideal. Available as a tub or whirlpool, with or without a wood slat inlay, and with accessories like a bench (with or without the handhold that’s reminiscent of a pool ladder), the Blue Moon is a great alternative to the more traditional luxury tubs—many of which (though gorgeous) are mammoth. For details on Blue Moon, visit Durvait’s website, where you can opt to watch a video about the tub, which features a Bossa Nova soundtrack—it might just get you in the mood to take a nice hot soak in this moon-shaped whirltub.
