Hansgrohe X PHOENIX: 

Rainfinity

With the shower line, Rainfinity, Hansgrohe and PHOENIX developed an archetype that innovatively combines top-notch technologies and real user requirements. Launched in 2019, the progressive shower line received an update to create even more individualisation options: the new shower pipe impresses with a bold rectangular profile yet leaves enough room for a spacious aesthetic. The integrated slider neatly stores the hand shower away. With the FinishPlussurfaces, setting a statement in the bathroom is even more freedom. Due to the extension, the deep relaxation of Rainfinity, in combination with thePowderRain spray, reaches the next level.

 

Ecostat Fine & Element

EcostatFine and Ecostat Element are the latest generations of thermostats that, thanks to their numerous functions and features, not only enhance comfort in the bathroom but also promote a sense of well-being and safety. A bathroom is lively, where moments of tranquillity meet with the need for a quick shower and daily routines with extended weekend sessions. The new Hansgrohe thermostat lines can handle it all: they do much more than provide hot or cold water. They automatically promote sustainability, prevent scalding and look stylish while doing so. Both Fine and Element are available in Chrome and Matt Black.

 

Xevolos

Xevoloswash Place products impress with their architectural geometric design and seamless overall look, from wash basins to furniture. Thanks to the inner bowl without an overflow hole and the seamlessly integrated ceramic waste cover, nothing disturbs the aesthetic presence of the ultra-slim wash basins.

The high-quality inlays made of wood, glass or ceramic set a further innovative design statement and are exchangeable to top it all off. Offering sizes from guest to master bathrooms, Xevolos can cater to almost any wash place preference perfection.

 

Xarita Lite

The Hansgrohe Xarita Lite mirror line was designed to provide an appealing lighting experience so you can enjoy your daily appearance. Thanks to theSoftCube (Q) and Round (S) shape, it blends harmoniously into an individualWashPlace. The SoftCobe design is characterised by a direct horizontal or left and right end-to-end light field that creates comprehensive, unique and seamless illumination. Thanks to reflectors behind the mirror glass, the light is directed to the face with a harmonious, natural colour reproduction to put the user in the best light. Xarita Lite has a matte white or black design frame and matches the Hansgrohe FinishPlus strategy.

Xanuia Qwashbasins combine functionality and style with simplicity and convenience, thus significantly improving the interaction at WashPlace. The well-thought-out design with its signature SoftCube footprint adds a touch of aesthetics to any bathroom, big or small, and matches the radii of Xarita Litemirrors. The generous inner basin and extensive tap hole bench with surrounding against water spillage make daily life more manageable.
