Natuzzi Ship Building

Natuzzi showroom is built like a ship (cut in half?). Curved side has a porthole window and even a moat to add to the effect. Right in downtown and not too far from the World's Largest Bureau.

Suggesting the lines of a ship bow. Not enough boat to satisfy landlocked seamen, but the building is unusual.
