Pure bathing pleasure from Kaldewei
The Puro from Kaldewei is a new bathtub for
devotees of pure, clear design contours. The
purist design of the Puro in durable Kaldewei
steel enamel reflects the modern approach of
architects and interior designers in reducing
everything to the essentials. Bathroom design,
in particular, still attaches special importance to
this approach. It takes up the desire for a
timeless yet homely style of bathroom as part of
a modern, high-quality interior design for the
whole private living environment.
The Puro is the best bathtub for ‘pamperers’
wishing to realise the high expectations they
have of an individual design for their own
bathroom even without a large budget and
who are thus looking for pure bathing pleasure.
Both sizes – 170 x 75 and 180 x 80
centimetres - invite the bather to relax at their
leisure. And the Puro's inner base length of 128
or 138 centimetres allows even a tall person to
comfortably stretch out in the bathtub. The
tapered interior shape guarantees maximum
comfort when reclining. Kaldewei’s single
seater bathtub thus becomes the peaceful
