The financially beleaguered Pininfarina Design House is best known for monster designs like the Ferrari P45, above, but who knew they've also designed...showers?
Below is the Pininfarina-designed Morphosis Omega by Jacuzzi, the "ultimate hydromassage steam cabin," which features four massage jets, a steam bath function, a seat made of teak for chrissakes, and "Skin touch cascade down the seat," whatever that means.
As Pininfarina--hit by the global crisis, like the rest of us--restructures their debt, investors in the company will probably want to spend a couple hours in one of these. (The shower that is, not the $3,000,000 base price P45.)
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
