Looking at the new Sozo Tub by Diamond Spas, I’m wondering why it never before occurred to anyone to craft a bathtub around the reclining human body. After all, each and every one of us sits in a reclined position, and we lie in a reclined posture (particularly in front of the TV), so why not bathe this way as well?

Bathe in Comfort and Save Water with the Sozo Tub

Sozo puts the latter proposition to the test. Diamond Spas has constructed this particular tub with an inclined back, giving it a profile very like an outdoor chaise. Not only does this intriguing approach deed the piece a unique aesthetic—it resembles the hull of a boat momentarily kicked up out of the water by gently lapping waves—it conserves water too.

In fact, the per bath consumption by an average user is just 60 gallons, far below that of conventional tubs—and don’t even get me started about the fill-up times and quantities for those venerated claw foots, timeless though they may be.

Sozo’s tapered inside walls augment this propensity for wise resource use, as they cradle the bather in high comfort and even higher style. Sozo is available in stainless steel or copper. Diamond Spas offers a coordinating vessel sink to complete this smarter than average bathroom ensemble.
