Designer Bath Shower System

Nothing here is chrome: the tube, arm, round rain head, handset and even the hoses are white. On white tiles or light ceramic, the column blends into the scene; on a grey wall, as in the photos, it stands out clearly.

The round rain head gives a wide rainfall, and the round handset sits on a holder adjustable along the tube. A clean-lined, Scandinavian or Japandi-style bathroom will find a shower system here with no metallic reflections.

The handset holder adjusts in height on the tube, for an adult or a child.

The controls are grouped in a horizontal console: three round push buttons and a lever, lined up like a dashboard. The photos show three water outlets, the rain head, the handset and a small handset on a coiled hose.

The top of the console is flat and takes a bottle, as in the detail photo. So you don't need an extra shelf.

The small coiled handset hangs below the console: use it to fill a bucket, rinse the bath or wash your feet. This layout keeps the wall clear: the control, the shelf and the low outlet all sit in the same white piece.

The console connects to the hot and cold wall water supplies; the tube is fixed to the wall by a bracket, which means a few holes in the tiles. If your supplies are already in place, a well-equipped DIYer can manage, otherwise a plumber.

A white finish shows limescale marks less than matt black, but it shows soap: a wipe with a soft sponge each week is enough. Avoid powders and abrasive sponges, which dull the surface.

Also measure the distance between your water supplies and the ceiling: the tube and the rain head arm need height above the console. If in doubt about compatibility, customer service replies Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm.
