The year has been abuzz with industry events and launches for GROHE, from making headlines with its award-winning installation at the Milan Design Festival to announcing its first water-recycling shower concept set to launch in 2024…

The brand revitalised the sub-brand with a captivating exhibit at Salone del Mobile, Milan Design Festival in April.

Following the successes of Milan, in June the company celebrated its Professional portfolio with a two-day brand experience event in Portugal and debuted the GROHE Everstream, the brand’s first water-recycling shower system. With its market launch due in 2024, the Everstream represents a ground-breaking solution that addresses the significant water consumption in both domestic and commercial bathrooms, designed to create the showering experience users expect while consuming as little fresh water as possible. Through its innovative technology that recirculates and cleanses the same 4L of water via heaters, filters, and UV light, the Everstream provides a viable resource saving solution to designers and specifiers.
