Based on the concept of “Aquatecture” - the fusion of water and architecture - the GROHE SPA installation in the courtyard of Palazzo Reale unveiled a series of spaces that elevated the significance and importance of water in architecture, and the health and well-being benefits this infusion brings. Conceived by the in-house LIXIL Global Design and Brand Identity team, the “Aquatecture” installation paid tribute to the history of the building, interwoven with the contemporary GROHE SPA “Salus per aquam” concept. Inspired by the former courtyard garden and in synergy with Milan Design Week’s theme “Materia Natura”, it thoughtfully blended nature and architecture to create immersive spaces that reflected the essence of GROHE SPA. These carefully curated spaces echoed the former garden, creating sensual areas to reflect, revitalize, and energize.
“Through our installation at Palazzo Reale, we reflected the intricate bond between nature and human creativity, intertwining the rich history of the royal palace with the modern ethos of GROHE SPA. Inviting visitors on a sensory journey to deeply experience ‘Salus per aquam’, our ‘Aquatecture’ spaces exhibited the powerful connection of water in architecture. They stood not only as showcases but as inspiration for architects and designers, encouraging collaboration and experimentation,” explained Patrick Speck, Leader, LIXIL Global Design EMENA.
Each “Aquatecture” space represented one of the four tiers that bring GROHE SPA to life. Visitors embarked on their immersive journey at the fourth tier that showed industry-leading products to create the ultimate home spa hideaway. Shower solutions like GROHE Rainshower Aqua and the F-Digital Deluxe modules combined timeless elegance with modern technology, using light, steam, sound and smell to delight the senses. In addition, the GROHE Atrio Outdoor Shower provided a refreshing and rejuvenating experience, enabling a stronger connection to nature and the tranquility this brings. Transitioning to the third tier, the spotlight was on the GROHE Colors Collection with the new Satin finish. Offering a luxurious touch and expanded design choices for a personalized look, the new finish is available for GROHE Allure and GROHE Atrio, as well as matching showers and accessories in the colors Satin Steel and Satin Graphite.
The highlight of the second tier was the new GROHE Allure Gravity, available from May 2025. Blending a slim square silhouette with boundless avenues for customization, the faucet line comes with exchangeable cover plates expertly crafted from glass, mirror or Caesarstone mineral surfaces. GROHE is partnering with Caesarstone, the global pioneer of premium countertop surfaces, to craft cover plates from the brand’s durable surfaces in timeless designs. Culminating the exhibition, the first tier was comprised of the conceptual GROHE Icon 3D collection: The 3D metal-printed products redefine what is possible, while taking sustainable product design with ultimate customization options to a new level.
