LIXIL’s consumer-focused approach and how water shapes our living environments was explored at the IPA by Antoine Besseyre des Horts, Leader, LIXIL Global Design, Asia through a seminar centering around Water Wellness. The audience appreciated how this advanced thinking is behind GROHE SPA offerings that empower architects, designers and developers to tailor solutions, enhance consumer experiences and add to property value.
The theme of consumer-focus, purposeful intent, and personalization was showcased at a special on-site exhibition by American Standard and GROHE. The audience toured the American Standard exhibit through selections from the Acacia Collection, Signature Collection, spalet and auto temperature mixers in exciting color finishes that complement consumer lifestyles and aspirations.
The GROHE SPA exhibit guided guests through the theme of ‘Health through Water’ with curated collections that explore the options for different materials, customized user settings, colors, and finishes. This enables tremendous creative flexibility, in offerings such as the Rainshower AQUA ceiling shower, to create a transformative multi- sensory showering experience through personalization.
