Minimalist mini pools for at-home dips in the sun

Italian wellness specialist Kos has a long-standing collaboration with Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, resulting in several bathroom designs as well as a collection of mini pools, that contirbute to the brand's vast selection of sculptural mini pools and outdoor tubs. Presented here through a series of evocative images that bring the rigorous and minimalist designs into a dreamy atmosphere, the pools are compact enough for a small space, and available in several designs to fit any style.

Ludovica and Roberto Palomba have created multiple designs for Kos (and sister brand Zucchetti), covering every aspect of the bathroom suite with their distinctively rational minimalism. Imagined for the outdoors, from urban gardens to terraces, but suitable for indoor spaces as well, these pools are a fitting example of the Palombas’ sleek and well-considered aesthetic.

For Kos, the Palomba-designed ‘Minipool’ is ‘an informal living room to relax and recharge body and mind’. Originally conceived in 2012, its round design fits up to five people, and is equipped with powerful hydro massage jets. Featuring an infinity edge and an LED water illumination system, the pool's design has recently been updated and is now available in a new rectangular version, with the addition of colour therapy and the ‘Milk’ system (Kos’ own technology using the properties of oxygen for a massage effect that promises enhanced wellbeing).

Other mini pools in the wider Kos collection include the ‘Faraway’ pool, the largest in the series; a built-in infinity-edge mini pool defined by a clean, graphic outline; as well as freestanding pools such as the ‘Quadrat’, a square design with a floating effect that comes with an integrated sun deck and lounger in its ‘Relax’ version. 

The pools are presented through a series of landscapes created by unreal realities specialist studio Newnewnew. The imaginary scenes in the images reference the dark, volcanic earth of Lanzarote, and a misty morning in an Icelandic lagoon. Demonstrating how these pools are at ease in any location, the settings also include a brutalist garden in the Mexican jungle and a deck facing a hilly landscape covered in Scottish heather.
