| Horizontal Shower by Dornbracht |
One of the most relaxing sounds is the soft, steady stream of water, and this was my salvation last week in Milan. You see, after almost five hours of hard core concentration while viewing the limitless (yet amazing) items of furniture in the eight 'Design' and two 'Modern' pavilions at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, I honestly could not come face-to-face with another chair. It was time for a change of scenery, so off to the Salone Internazionale del Bagno (pavilions 22-24) I went (my graphic designer and husband in tow). The leaders in the industry for showers and tubs, both Dornbracht and Zucchetti Kos did not disappoint, and I dreamed of lying on the new Horizontal Shower, the "Energizing" program set at a moderate pressure. Ypsilon was a completely new line for me; the vanities have both elegance and humor, nothing is typically in the leather tufting of Cameo. Apavisa Porcelanico had numerous vignettes displaying the wow-effect of their wall and floor tiles (especially love the Lappato Wave). And Baldi of Florence successfully transported their iconic Rock Crystal Bath Tub, sculpted from a single piece, as well as a free standing malachite bath tub and a malachite vanity top; they are gorgeous jewels, indeed.
