Dezeen Showroom: designer Michael Neumayr worked with German brand Dornbracht on a shower that brings a dynamic and sculptural bathing experience to the bathroom.
The Aquahalo shower creates an interplay of water and light through its structure, which consists of a metal ring attached to the ceiling at four points, crowned by a centrally-placed downlight.
Three modes offer different combinations of water flow and light, one of which makes the water fall like a curtain and another that creates a fountain within the ring.
The Aquahalo was modelled after classic crystal chandeliers and draws on Gustavian style, a Swedish version of French neoclassicism from the time of King Ludwig XVI.
"My original inspiration was a chandelier that hung in my parent's dining room," said Neumayr. "The glint of the lead crystal and the way in which it reflected the light always reminded me of sparkling water as a child."
"In this respect, Aquahalo is a contemporary, minimalist interpretation of a Gustavian candlestick."
The fixture comes in a selection of metallic finishes to suit a wide range of bathroom aesthetics.
