The Alya 'Drop' shower head has been designed by the Milan and Shanghai-based Yuhsien Lin Design Studio as a bathroom fixture for the Taiwan-based company. The fixture draws design inspiration from a branch delicately touching the surface of a lake in order to replicate the natural movement of water and highlight an ecological aesthetic. The shower head is capable of delivering water at a 160-degree angle to provide a comfortable bathing experience, while a built-in filter can be easily changed by the user thanks to its placement in the grip.
The Alya 'Drop' shower head is the winner of the Iron A’ Design Award 2019 and highlights a naturalistic yet easy-to-use design aesthetic in order to fit in well with any bathroom decor.
