This unique item is inspired by the world of navigation. Stainless steel and solid wood, placed alongside, create geometric lines able to evoke the lure of a sailing boat deck.
Besides its superior constitution, this output is totally innovative with regard to the supply of water to the showerhead: there is no distinguishable shower arm, the entire item itself acts as both a technical and architectural element. Water flows in invigorating drops through silicone nozzles producing a natural rain effect, which also grants environmental sustainability. The unparalleled visual effect is given by the alternation between empty and full: an outstanding feature born to meet the challenge of today’s lifestyle and the desire of casual elegance.
