With its huge variety of new colours and finishes, GROHE’s re-designed mixer range takes personalised bathroom design to a new level…

• The global trend for personalised design is entering the bathroom, as the boundaries between living spaces in our homes are dissolving
• The re-designed Essence range encourages creative design with its broad range of colours, finishes and matching products for every water outlet in the bathroom
• Essence mixers now feature a new softened design, with a consistent shape across the range
• Huge choice: a variety of deluxe colours and state-of-the-art finishes

GROHE’s new Essence range offers ultimate flexibility in design, with 10 possible combinations of deluxe colours and state-of-the-art finishes.

Inspired by the latest global trends, the finishes were carefully selected to complement all bathroom styles and décor, and include Cool Sunrise, Warm Sunset, Hard Graphite and Nickel.

Introducing GROHE Essence: freedom of choice in the bathroom

Variety meets consistency
The new choice of colours comes with an incredible consistency in design, with every spout and lever almost identical across all product types. The Essence design is based on concentric cylinders which have been slightly softened for the re-designed shape to add a touch of elegance to every bathroom. “We have included a very slight taper on the handle, giving the user a sensual experience of precision and control” says Michael Seum, Vice President of Design at GROHE. “People want the familiarity of iconic classic design, but they also want to be pampered with an individualistic look and feel”.

Award winning design and technology
The new Essence range features many of GROHE’s advanced technologies, such as Aqua Guide which positions the water flow to hit the basin in such a way to prevent splashing and GROHE SilkMove® allowing for a gradual, precise control of flow and temperature. Essence has already been awarded numerous prestigious international awards, including the Iconic Award Interior Innovation, the Good Design Award, and the iF Product Design Award.
