Grazioso

In a world that is increasingly defined by AI, automation and digital interfaces, there is a growing demand for originality, authentic materials and proximity to nature. Especially in rooms that fulfil the dual function of a space of retreat and daily routine, sensory and grounding experiences become more important. Grazioso addresses this need and turns the daily encounter with water into a purposeful, natural experience. Flowing, organic lines, intuitive controls and tactile materiality lend the bathroom fittings range a sensuous quality that transforms habits into rituals and creates an atmosphere of mindfulness. The design approach is especially noticeable in the choice of materials and their precise craftsmanship. Gently rounded wooden levers, vibration-finished metal surfaces and a woven textile shower hose give the range a warm, natural appearance and deliberately appeal to the senses. Pared back to the essentials, the design radiates calm and conveys a sense of timeless elegance. The durable materials furthermore accentuate the desire for stability and lasting quality. The natural ageing process of the materials is a deliberate element of the design concept. Traces of use are expressly encouraged. Over time, they give the surfaces a depth that is full of character which will be seen as an expression of lived experiences. The result is an aesthetic that emphasises authenticity and longevity. From a functional perspective, Grazioso presents itself as a thoughtful solution with numerous practical details. An ultra-thin overhead shower can be installed even in rooms with low ceilings. Separate mixers for water volume and temperature enable flexible layouts – for example for barrier-free access or compact floor plans. This ensures the range can harmoniously be integrated into different architectures and creates a balanced connection between water, space and people. The jury was also extremely impressed. “Grazioso is defined by an impressively graceful stylistic idiom that develops a haptic of its own thanks to the carefully selected materials and surfaces. The individual components are inviting to touch and convey a sense of comfort and well-being – a highly successful fusion of authenticity with timeless aesthetics.”
