Serpentine by Tom De Vrieze
The Serpentine was formerly part of the Extremis collection but was redesigned for Weltevree. On a warm day Tom de Vrieze longed for a way to cool off in his own garden. This is when he came up with the design for the Serpentine: a stainless steel garden shower with a practical design. Tom: “The shape is reduced to a minimum, a certain logic: form follows function. This resulted in an art-deco-look.”.
