GROHE opens showroom in Makati City

Tweet

GROHE unveiled its second showroom in the country at Desigño Atelier, 5F Wilcon IT Hub along Pasong Tamo, Makati City through an event entitled Masterworks.

The GROHE SPA showroom presents GROHE’s stylish design universes for bathrooms and kitchens. The relaxed atmosphere of the showroom encourages visitors not only to obtain information on the global brand’s premium offerings but also to touch and test the faucets and actually experience products in real use.

As you enter the space, you will be able to get a glimpse of GROHE’s glorious history spanning 80 years. Represented in the timeline on the wall are corporate milestones and the GROHE global network of six production plants and presence in 130 countries. 

Aquazones

The showroom is divided into five zones called Aquazones. Aquazones follow the concept of the thousand year-old Japanese bathing culture in which each step of the bathing experience has a dedicated zone. These perfectly designed zones take on different roles and allow the consumer to fully indulge in each ritual, while already looking forward to the next one. GROHE offers technologies in each of the five zones, allowing consumers to enjoy their personal spa time even more. 

The first zone is the Contemplation Zone where you can experience comfort and hygiene from GROHE toilets. 

Next is the Preparation Zone – from washing your face, brushing your teeth, applying makeup or even shaving, the Basin Area is central to the daily cleansing routine.

Third is the Rejuvenation Zone where you can combine one or two head showers, a hand shower, a bank of body showers to experience the utmost showering pleasure limited only by your imagination. 

Fourth is the Relaxation Zone, which features a Free Standing Bath Tub from Jaxson, the creator of luxury bath tubs and also one of the brands owned by LIXIL WATER TECHNOLOGY. Paired with an elegant GROHE Free Standing Tub Filler, you can enjoy a lingering soak at the end of the day.

Last is the Recreation Zone, which is for quiet reflection – to sip tea, enjoy a glass of water or read a book. Featured here is the GROHE BLUE, which delivers filtered, chilled and sparkling water, straight from the faucet. 

Tailor-made Showering

The showroom also features an area that celebrates uniqueness and variety by letting you design your shower according to your own vision of rest, relaxation, regeneration, personal care, design and comfort. 

Using GROHE side showers and steam modules you can create your own footh bath. The strategic placement of side showers delivers water pressure that aid in the stimulation of deeper layers of muscles and tissues in the feet and legs to enhance function, generate healing, decrease muscle reflex activity, as well as promote relaxation and relief.

With the GROHE Aquacloud, you can use side showers and light modules to create a horizontal shower, which delivers pampering rain-like water drops while you comfortably rest on a massage bed. 

Finally, you can use strategically placed shower heads and side showers to release pressure on key stress points like the neck and shoulders for muscle relief and nerve stimulation.

Design Inspirations

GROHE has an award-winning in-house design team led by Paul Flowers. The team is guided by the GROHE design philosophy and signature elements to ensure that products don’t just look good but feel good, too. In the showroom, you will see bathroom designs using three of the GROHE SPA luxury bathroom fittings.

They are the GROHE Grandera Collection which blends square and circular elements into one harmonious shape. Its smooth geometric lines and classic simplicity are created to combine effortlessly with a wide range of bathroom furnishings. 

Next is the GROHE Ondus Collection which offers a dramatic spout that flows out from cylindrical bases. The design is like a crest of a wave and looks ergonomic. 

Third is the GROHE Allure Brilliant Collection that is designed around geometric shapes and crisp contours. This collection features a gem-like faceted body with a cut-away detail, to accentuate the flow of water.

Introducing an innovative all-in-one solution GROHE Rainshower® SmartControl – 3D Showering

Tweet

DRÜCKEN, DREHEN, DUSCHEN 

PUSH, TURN, SHOWER 

GROHE Rainshower^® SmartControl offers 3D showering: Drücken, Drehen, Duschen – the German expressions for push, turn, shower. The innovative push button technology means that personalising the shower experience has never been easier. This all-in-one solution does not only impress with its innovative technology. Its organic design makes also a stylish statement in the bathroom and sets the tone for a relaxed shower experience.

Intuitive and comfortable operation

GROHE Rainshower^® SmartControl uses a very straightforward and easily understood triple button design which allows to control and memorize all desired shower settings. A combined push-and-turn button starts the flow of water and controls its flow volume. Its knurled surface means that the button can easily be turned even with wet fingers. To stop the flow of water, the user simply pushes the button again; the chosen flow rate setting remains memorized for the next time. 

The spray jet type can also be directly selected by pressing the push button, meaning adjusting the jet disc is no longer necessary. Blending several spray patterns – for example the gentle GROHE PureRain spray and the stimulating TrioMassage setting – is easy as well. The TrioMassage spray combines the action of two massaging spray nozzles with the dynamic GROHE Bokoma spray. Switching between the head and hand shower is just as simple by pushing the respective button. All controls are marked with self-explanatory symbols for intuitive operation, making this innovative shower system a joy to use.

The new flexibility in the shower sector

To create the ultimate shower experience, the system combines a GROHE Rainshower^® 360 DUO head shower with a GROHE Power&Soul^® hand shower. Measuring 360 by 220 millimetres, the lozenge-shaped head shower is a perfect match for the organically flowing lines of the control unit. A metal shower face completes the sophisticated look.

GROHE Rainshower^® SmartControl will shortly also be available as a MONO variant. While basically using the same water control technology as the DUO version, this model will feature only two buttons, given that the head shower will exclusively deliver the gentle GROHE PureRain spray pattern.

Proven GROHE technologies for safe showering

The GROHE Rainshower^® SmartControl shower system is equipped with GROHE TurboStat^® technology. A metal thermostat handle allows to set and adjust the water temperature. The preferred temperature is reached within fractions of a second and will be kept constant even in case of fluctuating water pressure in the pipes. A SafeStop button prevents users from inadvertently raising the water temperature to more than 38 degrees. In addition, the proven CoolTouch^® technology removes the risk of scalding by preventing the exposed metal surfaces from heating up. 

For added convenience under the shower, the top of the control unit serves as a shelf for shampoos, shower gel and other body care products which can be deposited on the XL EasyReach shower tray. Made of safety glass, the tray can be detached for easy and thorough cleaning – another fine example of user-friendly functionality packaged in an intriguingly futuristic look.
