LUME
Ceiling mounted Borosilicate glass overhead shower with built-in lights
Lume is the new showerhead system by FIMA Carlo Frattini, designed by Davide Vercelli, conceived to redefine the concept of home wellness through a harmonious balance between water, light, and design.
The project is the result of research and experimentation that led FIMA to explore innovative materials and technologies, such as glass and integrated lighting developed in collaboration with Melogranoblu, a specialist in interior lighting. This meeting of different expertise combines technical rigor with creative vision.
Much more than a showerhead, Lume is a system that combines aesthetics and performance, designed to bring the sophisticated language of lighting design into the shower environment. The project takes shape from a visually striking light installation where the power of light meets the force of water, interpreting the shower as an immersive experience and interior architecture.
The heart of the system is a precious cylindrical body in fluted borosilicate glass, designed to capture light and reflect it in a delicate texture of transparencies and glows. Lume does not just dispense water: it creates atmosphere, radiating the space and the ceiling with warm, enveloping tones. Even when the water stops, the light remains; the system can be used as an independent light source, becoming an architectural element that defines the room.
To complete the collection, an exclusive lighting-only version, without the water function, expands design possibilities, allowing Lume to be used as a lighting element for mirrors or other architectural contexts, in full consistency with the hybrid nature of the project.
This attention to material and light quality is expressed through hand-blown glass craftsmanship, a hallmark of Made in Italy know-how that combines tradition with experimentation, technology, and aesthetic sensitivity.
Thanks to its modular nature, the Lume system offers designers maximum creative freedom, allowing for different and tailor-made configurations to adapt to multiple residential and contract settings.
Available in three heights and two fluted glass finishes — transparent and mirrored bronze — Lume integrates three spray types — rain, laminar, and energy — to create highly customizable contemporary scenarios. The glass texture amplifies the dialogue between light and material, emphasizing the product's perceptual quality and sophistication.
The new system fully expresses FIMA Carlo Frattini’s philosophy, embodying its distinctive values of care, elegance, and innovation.
With Lume, the entire bathroom becomes architecture, atmosphere, and emotion. It represents a new way of experiencing the bathroom as a place for relaxation and regeneration, where water and light dialogue in perfect harmony.
