grohe spa rethinks the bathroom as a space for ritual, expression and personal wellbeing

"Showcased through a series of portfolio pieces and prototypes during Milan Design Week 2026, GROHE SPA offers a forward-looking perspective on the future of bathroom design. The brand shifts the perception of traditional bathrooms, using advanced production techniques and fluid organic forms to create an atmosphere that promotes self-care. Featuring a three-dimensional printing tree shower representing a living element, the 'Aqua Sanctuary' evokes a sense of growth instead of mere manufacturing."

"Within its subtle light stems, the GROHE SPA AquaTree provides a state of calm and relaxation, transmitting the brand's concept 'Wellbeing through Water'. The GROHE SPA AquaTree Faucet makes a bold design statement, suspended elegantly from the ceiling and challenging the very concept of the relationship between product and architecture. Water is thoughtfully separated into two distinct sources: a laminar flow and a fountain spray, the latter being more conducive to skincare rituals."

"The brand presents for the first time the GROHE SPA Private Collection Vanity, a conceptual unit for self-care that extends beyond the traditional realms of the bathroom. The unit features the Aqua Pure Steam & Mist for advanced skin longevity - a cleansing steam followed by the gentle touch of mist to nourish and rehydrate the face, ensuring a vibrant glow. Additionally, natural aroma capsules and customisable chromotherapy lighting help create a personalised mood for every moment."

"To complement the experience, other elements such as the SmartDial Control, precisely orchestrating the water to curate bespoke ritual presets, and a thoughtful storage with a refrigerated compartment for skincare products, guarantee the design's premium performance."
