Design studio Formafantasma presents a look at its new FFQT Outdoor Shower head, which has three different aerators that turn itself into a garden hose or an al fresco shower. This is done for Italian manufacturer Quadro and results in a stainless steel column that can be simply set up and moved around the outdoor space.
Quadro explains to Dezeen, "We created a nomadic object that holds the flexibility of a movable lamp rather than something that provides water. It can be installed anywhere and in any condition, as long as there is a water outlet of any kind." It is only about 6.3 cm in diameter but since it has three spray aerators, it is able to match the performance of premium larger designs.
