With its digital products, Grohe is one of the pioneering forces in digital sanitaryware technology and has been continuously expanding this segment since Ondus was launched in 2008. As well as fittings for every kind of bathroom tap, the range also includes digital showers and kitchen fittings. Now Allure F-digital is set to become the new star of the technological bathroom.

When it comes to the design, the company has opted for understated simplicity and a mixture of cuboid and cylindrical shapes. Grohe sees the square base plates of the circular controllers as their style-defining feature. Sized to complement the square base plates of the bent, u-shaped spouts, they are intended to emphasise the harmonious combination of round and angular forms – a characteristic feature of Allure’s design vocabulary.

The focal point of the digital collection are the two control elements with their universally comprehensible pictograms. To start the water flowing, the user simply pushes the power button, tapping lightly on plus and minus to change the temperature. The illuminated LED ring provides visual feedback on the temperature setting. Turning the outer ring of the controller regulates the amount of water. Thanks to their textured surface, the controls are easy to operate even with wet and soapy hands.

Wellness enthusiasts, for instance, are often big fans of floating, an activity familiar from hotels and thermal spas. Anyone who wants to let his worries float away at home can now enjoy this particularly relaxing experience in his own bathroom: the Bassino bathtub from Kaldewei is so big that you can actually float in the water.

“Haute Couture” for small bathrooms too: new additions to the Axor Starck ShowerCollection

Uncompromising minimalism and modularity – these are the principles Axor has committed itself to with its Starck ShowerCollection. The idea: a simple system of sprays, mixers and accessories intended to turn the shower area into an individually designed spa. The square modules measure 12 cm x 12 cm and are complemented by a ShowerHeaven with three spray patterns. Now Axor and Philippe Starck, the “enfant terrible” of the international design world, are extending their joint collection with new products for the shower and bathtub area. weiterlesen…
