apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Cute. But too cute.

Ever try showering in the rain?

I need PRESSURE BABY!!

I think....I love it?

Form over function... so Italian!

Personally, I'm a little skeeved out by the connection between food and showering. It reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer had a garbage disposal installed in his shower so he could cook and bathe at the same time.

I am with Jillian (v1.0)

If I wanted the experience acheived by those showerheads that folks spend hundreds of dollars on to get the feel of a rainshower, I would go back to renting a run down apartment with no water pressure.

I don't get it.... Showering is all about the pressure, not dripping water.

Garden Hose: $25
Duct Tape: $5.98
Colander: $2.50
Rigging your own "high-end" shower system without breaking the bank: Priceless

I'm not getting the comments: I thought the water pressure was from the water pipes. If they are encrusted by calcareous deposits, there restricted flow and no pressure. A regular shower head is like a colander too: the size of the head and the number and size of the holes are going to affect the pressure. I agree with Anne that the shower seems rather unfunctional but generally speaking Italian design is style + function.

any other AT readers pass physics?

the difference between a standard wide rain shower head and this fixture is the depth. the bowl being sunbstantially deeper than a shower head will increase the pressure the water comes out of the holes.

so this would be a good fit for a low pressure older building.

sorry, marz attax, but the depth of that bowl won't come close to equalling the pressure inside a shower head (skinny little cheap kind or big round rain kind).
The difference between this thing and a wide rain shower head is that there is no extra pressure (other than a few inches of water) forcing the water through the holes. In a shower head, the pressure of the water pipes is forcing the water out much faster, even in buildings with "low pressure".

This thing is water dripping on you, not a shower as it is commonly understood.
