Over the last few years, there has been a growing need for intuitive solutions that allow consumers to have an immersive experience in their bathrooms. Technological innovations have not just brought better designs, but also optimum hygiene, enhanced comfort, and even new materials for products.

DO THE NEW

The new launches in the bathroom space are largely being driven by technology as well as the need for a more sensor based, touchless experience post the pandemic. VitrA, a leading bathroom brand, has introduced V-Care Prime, a shower-toilet-WC, which combines the functionality of a standard WC with the personal cleaning properties of a bidet and integrates the latest bathroom technology. “The design has intelligent features, like the LED night light that is automatically activated when ambient light drops below a certain level. The V-Care app enables the user to adjust this feature as well,” says Serhan Ates Yagiz, Country Manager, VitrA Bathrooms India. GRAFF has developed a touch-screen technology for a multifunction shower system to make it easy for the final consumer to use a highly engineered product. Adopting a technology familiar to smartphone and tablet users, the shower touchpad allows control of several multimedia functions with a simple hand touch. GRAFF’s Aqua-sense shower system provides LED chromotherapy technology and the ability to listen to music and watch videos. GROHE, a world leader in sanitary fittings, have introduced their all-new Plus Digital faucet, a faucet with a digital display. GROHE has once again demonstrated that design is not just beauty, but also visionary.
