Aquahalo

Fixture and fittings manufacturer Dornbracht has designed Aquahalo, a sculptural experience shower modelled on a classic crystal chandelier. A ring-shaped design attached at four points, it circles a central spot for light and water embedded in the ceiling.

Designer Michael Neumayr based his concept on the Gustavian style, a Swedish trend inspired by antiquity and French neoclassicism at the time of King Ludwig XVI. ‘My original inspiration was a chandelier that hung in my parent’s dining room’, explains Neumayr.

The product is available in five finishes, polished and brushed versions of Chrome and Champagne (22kt Gold), as well as Matte Black. Three different flow modes, together with an integrated light, ensure unique water experiences: With Aqua Circle Rain, the water falls from the ring like a soft cone, creating a relaxing and meditative effect.

Tempest Rain is like an invigorating shower of rain, coming from every direction. The gentle drops fall seemingly without pressure and bring clarity as well as energy. Diamond Rain, on the other hand, combines water and light into a crystal-clear stream that is both comforting and aesthetically pleasing.

The product offers unique experiences in line with the ‘Follow Your Bliss’ guiding principle with three effective flow modes, a spot for light and water integrated into the ceiling and the provision of meditative and invigorating moments of happiness in everyday life.
