Bergamo – Brushed Grey Concealed Shower System

The round, brushed gray showerhead, mounted at the end of a horizontal arm, leans towards a dark gunmetal finish. The matte finish reflects little light, just a soft gleam along the micro-scratches from brushing. This shower column consists of three aligned parts: the high rain showerhead on its arm, the rectangular thermostatic plate at mid-height, and the hand shower on its round holder.

The thermostatic mixer comes as a vertical brushed gray plate, with two superimposed round knobs: the upper one adjusts the temperature, the lower one controls the flow and selects between the overhead rain shower and the hand shower. The hand shower features a slender knurled handle, connected by a hose of the same shade as the metal. The showerhead arm extends straight from the wall and then curves slightly downwards, directing water over the shower area.

On a light-colored wall, the brushed gray occupies a middle ground between matte black and chrome: present without dominating, discreet without disappearing. On anthracite tiles or dark polished concrete, it blends into the wall's tone and allows the rain to occupy the space without ostentation. The action remains understated: a quarter turn, and the water falls vertically.

Five finishes accompany this model, to be matched with the wall, lighting, and existing furnishings. The brushed gray plays its role as an intermediate shade here: less pronounced than matte black, warmer than polished chrome, it suits contemporary decors without imposing a strong aesthetic direction. On polished concrete, terracotta, or raw stone, it dialogues without contrasting.

Matte black emphasizes verticality and structures light walls. Chrome blends into most classic décors without altering their perception. Brushed gold and brushed rose gold lean towards warm materials, just right for beige plasters or veined marbles. Each finish steers the interpretation of the wall in a different direction.

Rain showerhead 20, 25 or 30 cm: three diameters to adjust the rain to the cabin

The rain showerhead comes in three sizes. The 20 cm version is suitable for narrow showers, where water needs to remain contained within the body area. The 25 cm covers the majority of standard cabins and remains the most common compromise. The 30 cm sweeps over the entire body without requiring movement and calls for a spacious shower area, with sufficient flow to supply the grid.

Recessed into the partition, this brushed gray recessed shower column only exposes the functional parts: showerhead, plate, hand shower. All plumbing is concealed behind the tiles, which requires planning the work in advance but offers a wall with no visible pipes. The thermostatic cartridge maintains a stable temperature between the two water outlets.

This shower column finds its place in contemporary renovations, minimalist bathrooms with dark tiles, and projects that demand restrained brassware without strong accents. The gunmetal plays its matte part here, quietly, without glare. Three diameters, five finishes, a discreet line.
