There is a clear move towards compact freestanding baths, even for those who are not limited by space. They are quicker to fill, using less water, and some models seem to suit the smaller dimensions. Using 30% less water than a typical freestanding bath, the Victoria + Albert Ledro bath was initially designed for hotel projects where water-use is critical, yet its elegant, body-hugging shape has been well received by personal buyers, who love the idea of a deep, comfortable slipper bath with more sustainable credentials.
