Aquahalo
AQUAHALO is a new way to experience water in its purest form. Inspired by a Gustavian crystal chandelier interpreted through a contemporary and minimalist lense, AQUAHALO offers three distinctly different experiences.
AQUA CIRCLE RAIN uses the circular architecture of Aquahalo to project a 360 degree curtain of water around the head onto the body encompassing you in a cocoon of water. Increasing the volume allows the stream to focus, creating an energizing effect on head, neck, and shoulders.
DIAMOND RAIN integrates seamlessly into the ceiling, disappearing from view to create the illusion of water emerging from thin air. A central jet releases a gentle, focused stream, while integrated light refracts through descending droplets, evoking the shimmer of falling diamonds.
TEMPEST RAIN mimics the soothing experience of tropical rain. Projecting droplets upwards allows gravity to take over, creating a chaotic but soft sensation of gentle rainfall, evoking a reinvigorating release and connection with nature.
