Technology and Design in the Pool

City, the latest above-ground or semi-inground pool from Piscine Laghetto – a brand part of the Fluidra group – is a new icon of Made in Italy design. Developed in collaboration with Sportium–Progetto CMR, which led the design, and Granitech from Iris Ceramica Group, which engineered the innovative X-Slab ceramic cladding, the pool combines sharp-edged geometry, contemporary esthetics, refined finishes and advanced materials.

From the outset, the goal was clear for this new pool: to create a bold architectural presence that, despite its scale, would blend seamlessly and harmoniously into residential outdoor settings. The design aims to visually lighten the pool’s volume, a goal reflected in every choice of material, finish and detail – from integrated LED lighting to surfaces in ceramic slabs and metal – made possible through the precision of Italian artisanship. The outer cladding, with X-Slab ceramic surfaces, delivers up to ten times the strength of conventional ceramic thanks to a layered system with a natural mineral laminate.

Flexibility is another hallmark of City, easily tailored to individual needs with accessories like a counter-current swim kit or a seven-jet hydromassage corner. Additional configurations for sports, wellness and rehabilitation are also on the horizon.

The result is a pool that transforms an outdoor area into a seamless extension of the home – visually and physically. Inspired by architectural principles, the designers used solids and voids to lend the structure a sense of lightness.
