Spotted (and admired) on Designer Pages: Outdoor showers from French company Tectona, featuring stainless steel plumbing and teak supports and bases. No contractor or plumber is required; simply plumb into your outdoor watering hose and you have an instant lakeside, beachside, or poolside shower. N.B. It’s also possible to adapt a thermostatic mixer to these showers. Delivery in the US (and all over the world).
