Avalegra: reinventing the washbasin
With the exciting launch of the Avalegra AquaUnit, hansgrohe has invented a completely new product category; representing an impressive interplay of washbasin and tap in one unit. The AquaUnit combines familiar and new elements in a sophisticated and unprecedented way.
With the aim of making daily routines at the washbasin as natural, comfortable and enjoyable as possible, Avalegra is leading the way. In addition to a curved, slim and swivelling spout, Avalegra has an integrated shower spray. This allows water to be experienced at the washbasin in a completely new and refreshing way.
Like an inviting gesture, water comes towards the user from the centre of the control element in a parabolic shape. The integrated pressure limiter reduces water consumption to five litres per minute, supporting the sustainable use of water. In both cases, water is then gently collected from the Solid Surface washbasin. It is this dual presentation of water which makes the Avalegra a world-first.

All the operating elements of the Avalegra AquaUnit are combined in a single functional unit. The integrated spray disk takes centre stage. The handles on the right control the water volume, spray type and temperature and favourite temperatures are simply set for the next use.
The surface of the control unit is available in five FinishPlus colours: Chrome, Matt Black, Brushed Black Chrome, Brushed Bronze and Polished Gold Optic.
The matt white washbasin made of Solid Surface material is durable, scratch-resistant and non-porous which prevents deposits and is easy to clean. If a scratch does occur, it can simply be polished away, to ensure that Avalegra remains a visual highlight in any bathroom.
Whilst Avalegra is pioneering revolutionary design in the bathroom, the installation is not any different: thanks to pre-assembled components, installation is just as quick and easy as with any other washbasin with a tap. With its elegant design language, the AquaUnit harmonises perfectly with other hansgrohe innovations such as the Raindance Alive shower product line or the furniture from the new Xevolos series.
Xevolos: the first bathroom furniture line with durable textile surfaces
As bathrooms evolve into spaces of warmth and retreat, hansgrohe brings a new texture into play with Xevolos E, the first bathroom furniture line featuring textile fronts.

The tactile surfaces add softness and comfort, while other options in wood décor, glass, or ceramic broaden the design scope. Combined with body and console finishes in matt white, sand beige, or slate grey, the collection allows countless individual combinations.
The textiles are as practical as they are stylish – abrasion- and stain-resistant, with colours protected against indirect UV light. Everyday marks from toothpaste or cosmetics can be wiped away with soapy water.
Flexibility defines the line. With a wide range of sizes and a slim, floating look, Xevolos adapts to any living space. Half-height vanities paired with sideboards create layered layouts, offering storage, seating, or display options with lightness and elegance.

Sustainability is integral. All wooden components are PEFC-certified from sustainable forestry, while the range carries the ‘Golden M’ and ‘Emissions Label for Furniture’ from the German Furniture Quality Association. Hansgrohe’s participation in the ‘Furniture Industry Climate Pact’ underlines its commitment to a reduced carbon footprint.
Daily handling is equally refined. PushOpen and SoftClose drawers provide ease of use, anti-fingerprint surfaces keep finishes pristine, and damp-resistance makes the furniture bathroom-ready. A space-saving siphon maximises capacity, while the smart IntraStoris storage system – supplied as standard in matt black – ensures effortless organisation.
