Founded in 1901, the Hansgrohe Group based in Schiltach/Southern Germany gives form and function to water with its faucets, showerheads and shower systems. Its brands, AXOR and hansgrohe are synonymous with innovation, design and quality within the bath and kitchen industries.
With a growing awareness of wellness and self-care, homeowners are recognising the importance of creating personal sanctuaries within their homes. Bathrooms are no longer just functional and utilitarian spaces but are being regarded as spaces of well-being that offer the homeowners a space to relax, unwind and rejuvenate.
Stefan Lindheimer, the hansgrohe Head of Global Product Management Bathroom Interior Categories, also attributes social media and home improvement shows for inspiring homeowners to invest more in their bathrooms, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
As sanctuaries of wellness, bathrooms incorporate elements that promote relaxation, rejuvenation and overall well- being, including environmental sustainability. By developing and leveraging on innovative technologies, Hansgrohe is able to save water and energy without compromising on the timelessness of its designs and while still providing a spa-like bathroom experience.
The hansgrohe Pulsify Shower system lets you enjoy your shower while saving water.
For example, the hansgrohe PowderRain spray, with its microfine droplets, cocoons the body in warm water while using less water. The hansgrohe Pulsify shower collection also embodies this principle of sustainability, delivering unparalleled shower experiences in bathrooms of all sizes to create a holistic wellness experience.
Stefan believes that a bathroom is more than just its individual components: “It requires a holistic design approach to harmonise both mind and body. The bathroom is inherently a multi-sensory space where elements of sound, touch and smell elevate the overall experience. For us, creating a seamless experience is paramount.”
He identifies the gentle yet effective delivery of water, optimal water temperature and high water quality as some of the factors that constitute a relaxing shower or bath experience. Features, such as overhead showers that provide a soft, enveloping spray, and handheld showerheads that offer targeted massage settings, can enhance relaxation. These are complemented by advanced filtration systems that deliver clean, soft water that is free from impurities and harsh chemicals and therefore gentle on skin and hair.
The Hansgrohe Tecturis E/S basin mixer reflects a growing trend towards seamless fixtures with minimalist and sleek designs.
Eco-friendly technologies such as water-saving faucets and showerheads with aerators are becoming increasingly prevalent. The hansgrohe CoolStart taps embody this by allowing only cold water to flow when the handle is in the middle position, unlike standard taps that consume energy immediately when operated.
The use of recycled materials is also gaining popularity. The hansgrohe Planet Editions are crafted from recycled production waste and the textile shower hose is made from recycled plastic bottles, while the Tecturis E/S basin mixer reflects a growing trend towards seamless fixtures with minimalist and sleek designs.
