When it comes to a good design strategy, the choice

of colours plays a vital part. But not only the colour,

the quality of the finish is equally important. Especially

in the world of bathroom and kitchen solutions and

where surfaces ought to last for a long time, excellent,

highly resistant finishes distinguish

Our aim: to offer our consumers long-lasting water

enjoyment. Next to the resistance of the material,

it was also about the look of the colour itself: we

wanted to make brushed hard graphite as dark grey

as possible and give our golden finishes the brilliance

good products from great ones.

GROHE’s aspiration to always

produce only the best drove us to

choose a special technology that

assures, not simply the best, most

brilliant colours, but a durable

coating of the highest quality.
