Garden shower VITEO OUTDOORS SHOWER by Danny Venlet
VITEO>Outdoors is set to launch an outstandingly beautiful and unique outdoor product in 2007: the VITEO_Shower, refreshing like a burst of gentle summer rain, a new sensual shower experience. Featuring a clear and functional design by Danny Venlet, ideal for the garden or around the pool and can also be used on a jetty or a patio. It doesn’t take much to work out an ideal way of cooling down in summer – quite simply, a rain cloud will do. With this idea in mind, VITEO has come up with an astonishingly simple solution .
All you need to do is step into the VITEO_Shower. Your body weight sets off shower jets arranged in a circle around the edge of the foot panel. The jets first gush up and meet in the middle over your head before falling gently down like rain. To dispel the ‘cloud’ and let the sun shine through once more you simply step off the foot panel.
The white foot panel has a diameter of 78 cm and is made of UV resistant, non-slip plastic, with the substructure enclosed in a stainless steel ring. Water is supplied via a standard ½-inch garden hose with a ‘Gardena’ connection. The height of the water column varies between two and four metres depending on the water pressure.
The combination of white plastic and stainless steel conveys a visual impression of lightness to the VITEO_Shower which finds its counterpart in the product’s surprisingly low weight of around 14 kg.
