If BMW designed a bathroom, this is what the showerhead and shower arm would look like--this fixture oozes industrial cool. The solid-brass-constructed showerhead and arm come from Gnutti Sebastiano & Figli S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer known for high-end fixtures. The unit is triple-plated, comes in a polished brass finish, and features three spray patterns. A movable connecting joint makes it easy to aim the spray. Though this sleek, handsome hand shower shifts smoothly between spray patterns, it does have one minor disadvantage: the picture symbols for the three spray settings are not easy to understand. The icon for the left-hand setting looks like a mushroom, the middle icon looks like a comb, and the right-hand icon looks like a jellyfish. A sticker on the fixture's box lists the three spray settings as "rain," "gentle," and "massage." As far as this reviewer can tell, mushroom equals rain, comb equals gentle, and jellyfish equals massage.
