Ianus is a decorative stone tub/fountain for indoor or outdoor use.

The tub is the result of a digital simulative design and CNC fabrication with a 6 axis robot, milled from a monolithic block of Gray Shadow stone, caved in Turkey.

The design is characterized by a basin of a pure geometry, raised form the ground by a structural branching coming from a dynamic subdivision of the upper surface amplified by a gravitropic process.

These irregular cave-like bodies that dig the mass, give a light base to the tub.

To amplify the reflections when filled with water, the pool is smooth polished, conversely the outer side is sanded to give a porous and soft touch to the external roots, this to better read the folds and curves.
