With an eye on innovation and colour, this year’s ISH show debuted top energy and water technology products from around the globe.
With over 200,000 visitors and 2482 exhibitors from 61 countries, ISH Frankfurt, the world’s leading trade fair for the combination of water and energy, once again brought the world’s top trends to a global audience.
With the themes of ‘Bathrooms for People’ and ‘Technology for People’, exhibitors embraced digitalisation. Launches included products that promote health, bespoke settings, advanced customisation options and installation technology, as well as eco-design directives.
Along with sleek lines, dramatic curves and visually floating designs, bold colours such as raspberry avocado stole the show. Spa-like design elements designed to address health, wellness, comfort and convenience were integrated into the highly-stylised design concepts, which also included technologies related to conservation and connection to the highly advanced solutions offered by today’s smart-home technologies.
