Rettangolo Sink Fixtures Rains Like Zeus’ Own Ambrosia

We’ve seen some clever bathroom fixtures in hotels, clubs and even people’s homes, but this Gessi ceiling mounted sink faucet is really nice.

Would we want one of these in our homes? Definitely. The next best thing to sharing the shower with Zeus is standing under him when he takes one. [Trendir]
