Ultimate Shower<br />
art <strong>with</strong> form & function
C<br />
raftsman Alan Johnson is located in New Zealand’s rural North<br />
Island, surrounded by the scenery made famous in Lord of the<br />
Rings and The Hobbit movies.<br />
Alan has spent the last forty years inventing, designing and refining<br />
eco-friendly solutions for farmers, home owners and art collectors.<br />
Ultimate Shower evolved organically when Alan was constructing<br />
a weight-bearing column for an architect who wanted to feature<br />
recycled wood in an unusual way.<br />
As well as creating a beautiful alternative to traditional pillars, Alan simultaneously devised an<br />
original and stylish free-standing shower that can be located anywhere at all - and no walls are<br />
required.<br />
Not only is Ultimate Shower an innovative, efficient and beautiful bathroom addition, it is an<br />
enduring and functional piece of art for your dream home, ski chalet, beach house or yacht.<br />
Choices to Suit<br />
New Zealand artisan Alan Johnson<br />
created Ultimate Shower to bring beauty<br />
into the bathroom.<br />
Every bespoke Ultimate Shower is<br />
crafted from specially selected wood,<br />
each <strong>with</strong> its own grain and colouring,<br />
so that no two showers are the same.<br />
Alan produces single and double shower<br />
options and he works closely <strong>with</strong> his<br />
customers to ensure their individual style<br />
is reflected in each design.<br />
As well as providing the client <strong>with</strong><br />
the choice of their preferred type<br />
of wood, Alan offers the inclusion of<br />
embellishments such as gold, paua,<br />
mother of pearl or copper.<br />

The individual character of the wood used in Ultimate Shower<br />
is what makes every shower unique; each has its own variance<br />
of colour, grain and warmth, allowing you to choose exactly the<br />
right look to suit your decor.<br />
Once Alan has sourced your preferred timber, he’ll start putting<br />
your shower together - a slow and careful process that is largely<br />
done by hand, using up to 66 individual strips of wood.<br />
After the shower unit has been assembled, it is then sealed <strong>with</strong><br />
up to thirty layers of a high-sheen, waterproof coating, similar<br />
to the marine finish on the Riva boat.<br />
Then the shower heads are added — these are available in<br />
overhead, hand-held or one of each — followed by the mixer<br />
tap, <strong>with</strong> your choice of chrome, stainless steel or gold plate.<br />
Finally, Alan carefully packs the completed shower in its special<br />
travel case and brings your Ultimate Shower to its new location;<br />
personal delivery ensures your bathroom showpiece arrives in<br />
perfect condition.<br />
Alan is then on hand to assist and advise on installation as<br />
required.<br />
Ultimate Shower is<br />
available in single or<br />
double shower head,<br />
either fixed or hand-held.<br />
The double unit can<br />
accommodate a<br />
combination of hand-held<br />
and fixed shower heads.<br />
Fittings can be supplied in<br />
chrome, stainless steel or<br />
gold plate.<br />
The hand-held eco-shower<br />
is available in chrome.<br />
The celing cornice is<br />
available in gold plate or<br />
can be painted to suit your<br />
decor.
