Why We Made This: Brass Outdoor Faucet

Published on November 01, 2024

Thoughtfully designed and genuinely multipurpose, the Brass Outdoor Faucet has been created to elevate your experience outdoors. Crafted from raw brass in an elegant form, use it to fill up the Wood Burning Hot Tub, wash off tools after an afternoon in the garden, fill a bucket of water to cool down after a sauna, and more. Portable and with a 360 degree swivel, it’s easy to use the faucet exactly as you need to. 

Created by our in-house design studio, the brass faucet easily connects to any standard sized garden hose—including our Everlasting Garden Hose

Why We Made This

Originally, our team was looking for a tool to fill up the GOODLAND Hot Tub that would feel like a natural continuation of the bathing experience. The Brass Outdoor Faucet was created to solve for this: an artful accessory that infuses the experience of filling the tub with thoughtful and considered design. 

Our in-house design team then chose to take things a step further, opting to create a well-designed outdoor faucet that can be used not only for filling your hot tub, but outdoors in general. Use it to fill up your watering can or bucket, to rinse tools after a day in the garden, or to wash off hands after a day outdoors.

The Brass Outdoor Faucet can also serve as a source of cold water during wood-heated bathing—whether to cool down a soak that’s too hot, or simply allow the cool water to fall over your shoulders as a refreshing contrast. Or, install it next to a sauna as a cool spot to rinse off your feet before entering.

Our Design Process

The design team drew inspiration from the material-focused beauty of the bathing experience at Therme Vals, a thermal bath in Switzerland from architect Peter Zumthor. The Brass Outdoor Faucet was designed out of raw brass with an elegant curve, at an angle that’s optimal for filling up the Wood Burning Hot Tub or dipping your head under the running water. 

The raw brass matches the finishes for the Wood Burning Hot Tub and other GOODLAND objects, allowing for a seamless look. With an entirely customized design—down to the shape of the knob—the entirety of the product was created for a beautiful look and to flow seamlessly with the rest of the experience.

Having the Brass Outdoor Faucet be as functional as possible was also a top priority — something that's core to our design principles. Instead of requiring professional installation from a plumber or any special equipment, the faucet can be mounted onto wood, metal, or brick with just two screws. It attaches simply to any standard garden hose, and even comes with 3 feet of our Everlasting Garden Hose to seamlessly connect to your garden hose. 

It’s also entirely removable from the mount itself—meaning you can simply slide the faucet off of the mount and bring it around with you throughout your garden, as an outdoor faucet extender. This makes it a truly multipurpose tool as you can carry it with you. If you have a Wood Burning Hot Tub, beyond using the brass faucet to fill it, you can detach the faucet for easy cleaning and rinsing.

A Suggested Ritual with the Brass Outdoor Faucet

As you soak in the warm waters of the Wood Burning Hot Tub, tune into the soothing intensity of the heat. Let the heat gently build, and turn towards the Brass Outdoor Faucet. As you turn on the flow of the cool water, let it run over your shoulders providing a welcome contrast to the warmth. Notice the tactile sensations of the water, and how becoming aware of them can help you better be in the moment itself.
