Belgium-based outdoor furniture specialist Manutti has a way with metal and teak, even though that combination may seem like the proverbial odd bedfellow. The manufacturer's Siena Collection professes "a marriage of metal and teak where refinement is king." One doesn't get much more refined than a soothing poolside rinse on the shores of the sunny Mediterranean-terrain that's certainly ripe for the luxuriant flow of Manutti's Siena Cascade Outdoor Shower.

Manutti's Cascade Shower Fits Right in With Poolside D©cor

If you're like me, the mention of teak will raise your environmental eyebrows, since the wood has long been on the endangered species list of dwindling resources. Yet this particular brand of teak is harvested from sustainable plantations, meaning we call can feel good about Manutti's propitious juxtaposition of teak and stainless steel.

The Cascade Shower is but one among the many elements in Manutti's Siena Collection, which features outdoor furniture and matching upholstery in a variety of fabrics and finishes. Cascade, with its impressive central pillar, broad platform base, and jutting rain-style showerhead, goes heavy on the teak, yet its spare steel accents (the showerhead and control handles) bring out the best in the complementary Cascade furnishings.

The Shower is long on functional elements as well. The rain-style Cascade showerhead features a silicone anti-calc system to keep things flowing smoothly, while the spacious plank platform prevents puddling and build-up beneath your feet. The very same wide-plank configuration is evinced in Siena's coffee tables and chaise lounges, making the Cascade Shower the perfect accompaniment to this cool, classic ensemble.

About the Manufacturer: Anyone can design patio furniture but none too many among us are capable of creating outdoor furnishings that pass muster for indoor d©cor. Manutti principal Stephane De Winter aspires to the very same, as "he has succeeded in transposing the concept of 'indoor sitting room' to outdoors, thus creating collections with imitation leather covers and finishes with fine stitching in matching colours which transcend their ultimate purpose and bring a touch of class and elegance to gardens and terraces all over the world. " The company's outdoor collection includes seating, tables, and outdoor showers, along with matching accessories like parasols, pot-holders, lamps, and outdoor rugs. Being in the business of creating durable designer furniture, Manutti employs classic as well as cutting-edge materials, not limited to anodized or thermo-lacquered aluminum, stainless steel, teak, forged iron, and various synthetic fibers.
