At Cersaie 2026, part of the stand was dedicated to outdoor spaces. Not because other Fontealta products are not suitable outdoors: they all are. Here, though, we brought together the designs our clients most often choose for gardens, poolsides and hotels, along with the novelty of the year. Alma Simeoli presents them in the video.

One material for inside and out
All Fontealta production is in AISI 316 stainless steel, and each of our complete series includes a freestanding shower column designed to live outdoors. The material is the same inside and out, but the freestanding column remains the winning design for a garden, a poolside or a resort. We have explained why 316 steel stands up to the sea in Does an outdoor stainless steel shower last by the sea?.
The 2026 novelty: Origo Rame
This year's big news at Cersaie is the outdoor column from the Origo Rame collection. In twenty years of history, it is the only product to depart from stainless steel: it is made entirely of natural brass and copper.
It answers the many requests we received for a garden column more compact than a shower column, with a tap, a mixer and a hand shower: a shower point, a water point or a foot shower, depending on how it is used. The copper is neither protected nor treated: it oxidises naturally and ages outdoors together with the materials around it. Alongside the steel of the other collections, copper brings the garden a living colour that changes with the seasons.
Community: the timed shower, now with hot water
Community is the series we dedicate to hospitality: pools, beach clubs, spas, all the places where a shower is used by many people every day. At Cersaie we presented a timed column, with a mixer that controls the flow time, now also with hot and cold water thanks to a thermostatic mixer. It is an important innovation: you choose the water temperature without giving up the timed control. For a hotel, it means offering guests a pleasant shower even in spring and autumn, while keeping water consumption under control.
Spring and the W10 tap
The Spring series brings together the smallest products in the Fontealta range. The W10 tap is the accessory that finds a place almost anywhere, in a garden or on a terrace: it brings a water point outdoors, always in steel, and can be fitted with a hose connector for irrigation.
Before choosing an outdoor shower, we suggest five questions to ask before specifying one.
