LINEA CALLAS design that speaks to the senses Callas, the bathtub with an exclusive concept, won the coveted Red Dot Design Award in 2006 for its designer Vincenzo Catoio. Great acclaim from international competitions, the international and Italian press, and general public subsequently led to Callas becoming an entire line, including a washbasin and frame. The flower-inspired design projects an image of the harmonious balance born from the synergetic union of the softness and tension of natural symbols. The pure lines and expressive ability immediately give rise to a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The soft elegant shapes create the experience of a surreal space where one’s self can be rediscovered and balance returned. The line is built around the concept of wellsense. These objects establish a perceptive-esthetic relationship with the person interacting with them, and aim toward satisfying and regenerating the senses through one of the most undeniable daily rituals: the bath. The space embraces the body and mind, returning wellness, and becoming an experience of celebration and caring for the whole self. The Callas line is currently still in the prototype phase and not yet in production. For construction of the bathtub, use has been planned for a synthetic material, exmar, created from a composition of resin and quartz powder, pleasant on contact with the skin, and especially well suited for its ability to conserve water heat over a long period. The use of more classic materials, ceramic and ebony wood, is planned for the washbasin and frame.
