Mizu Freestanding Bathtub

METRO COLLECTION

East meets west at the best of both worlds with the Mizu, an evolution of the traditional Japanese soaking tub known as an ofuro. Taking its upright design cues from the Peace Pagoda, the added option of our Thermal Air System brings the time-honored bathing ritual into the 21st century with technological sophistication. Thousands of tiny heated bubbles provide a full sensory experience and unparalleled therapeutic effects to wash away stress and fatigue. The Mizu’s steep-sided form has the added benefit of fitting beautifully into small or irregularly shaped places while providing a deep soak for seated bathing. The Mizu is a space for restoration, meditation and finding your inner zen.

INSPIRATION | The Peace Pagoda is a commanding expression of Japanese culture located in the heart of San Francisco. Gifted as a token of friendship by the sister city of Osaka, Japan in 1968, the Peace Pagoda is a five-tiered concrete stupa, or Buddhist shrine, meant to inspire peace. Noted modernist Japanese architect Yoshiro Taniguchi designed the structure, eschewing the classical square or octagonal-roofed pagoda in favor of a harmonious circular shape. The five tiers rise up toward the sky, drawing the eye and providing a visually striking gathering place for the community’s cultural celebrations.
