Striking a balance between innovation, sustainability and luxurious design, Nero Tapware’s Zen collection is a sleek, minimalist selection of outdoor bathroom products crafted from stainless steel.

Australians have always embraced outdoor living. However, in the past few decades, our alfresco spaces have become more sophisticated and design driven. Increasingly, outdoor showers are an integral feature of design-led coastal, regional and urban spaces, providing homeowners with a practical, convenient and elegant segue between beach or pool and home.

“Whether you’re designing an indoor bathroom or an outdoor shower area, the Zen collection has everything you need to create the perfect space.”

With this top of mind, Australian tapware brand Nero Tapware has launched the Zen collection, a sleek and minimalist range of outdoor bathroom products crafted from stainless steel and designed to enhance the alfresco shower experience. “The Zen series, through its innovative design, provides a comfortable and safe outdoor shower experience in a natural setting,” says Clint Field, Nero’s national sales and marketing manager.

The Zen collection challenges the idea that outdoor products should prioritise function over aesthetics; instead, the taps and showerheads – and a full collection of accessories – are defined by clean lines and smooth edges designed to elevate any outdoor setting. Available in four sophisticated finishes – brushed nickel, brushed bronze, brushed gold and graphite – Zen works with all alfresco styles, from minimal and coastal to high luxury. Additionally, the collection is equally suited to indoors and out. “Whether you’re designing an indoor bathroom or an outdoor shower area, the Zen collection has everything you need to create the perfect space,” says Field.

Aesthetics are highly considered, but durability and longevity are in-built: Zen is crafted from 316L marine-grade stainless steel, which provides exceptional resistance to corrosion. This longevity is enhanced by innovative Laminar flow technology, with components such as top-grade cartridges, flexible hoses and aerators ensuring smooth and clear water delivery free of air, enabling pristine flow with minimal splashing.

The steel is environmentally friendly and 100 per cent recyclable, adding to the collection’s impeccable sustainability credentials. The carbon-free technology also ensures there is no toxic runoff, while the eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging minimises environmental impact without compromising on quality. Underscoring Nero Tapware’s commitment to environmental conservation and confidence in its first outdoor product, Zen has a 25-year warranty on the finish.

As homeowners across the country – from Caloundra to Cottesloe and Brighton to Bondi – embrace outdoor showers as an essential feature of their alfresco spaces, the Zen collection only serves to enhance those areas, grounded in a sustainable, durable and aesthetic approach to outdoor bathroom design.
