Taps needn’t teeter on the edge of a bath – open your mind to a free-standing alternative. Gessi’s iSpa bath mixer is constructed in brass and finished in chrome, and its minimalist tower stretches just enough to reach the top of the tub, avoiding complex pipework. For bathing based in the centre of the room, it’s a statement, and its strong lines can be reflected in the shelving, as Gessi shows. From £415.
