Pininfarina in hot water

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.)

Mmh, Pininfarina is designing goods for a long time !
In fact, the car designers and the product designers (cf. http://extra.pininfarina.com/ ) are not the same team, but they all work for the same family owners (not for long ?).
