THE RIGHT 'FIT'

There has been a slew of launches in the bathroom fitting products space that seamlessly blend technology, design, and functionality to elevate the bathroom experience. We speak to industry experts to share their thoughts.

CHANGING TIDES The bath fittings industry is rapidly evolving, driven by changing consumer preferences in technological advancements and sustainability segments.

imageFor instance, advanced shower technologies, adjustable spray modes, and smart toilets have gained popularity among customers. “Products like the Tecturis basin mixers range combine sleek aesthetics with precise water control. Innovations like Hansgrohe Select showers cater to individual preferences for a personalised bathing experience with intuitive controls. Luxury brands like AXOR are also pushing boundaries with collections like AXOR One, setting new standards in both individualisation and functionality. These products underscore cutting-edge technology with elegant design for a superior bathroom experience,” says Gaurav Malhotra, Managing Director, Hansgrohe India.

MUSING MUSEUMS

A few months back, when I was in Budapest, I walked into a building that left me awestruck. The inquisitive me went on to explore, and I discovered that it was a museum with pixels on the exterior and that the curved structure of the building dipped underground to form the interiors, even as the garden I was walking on was the green roof of the building that interjected at street level! Woah! I quickly took some pictures and went on to research this building, and the more I read about it, the more I fell in love with it. And then of course I had to share it with you all!
