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. more…
