They key element of the Azuma collection is inspired by the comforting world of the Japanese bathroom with its washbasins, either sit-on or free-standing, and the bathtub, made in Milltek, a white and almost ‘abstract’ material; to make it smoother and warmer the designers focused on the shapes, that evolve from a circular top part to a square shape on the bases. Wood is widely used to emphasise the concept of comfort. The collection also includes a series of wooden stools with simple volumes, which feature the same interplay of lines of the washbasins and of the bathtub.
