GROHE X Panel Discussion
Experts Insights on Luxury Living Spaces
Celebrating the GROHE SPA launch in Asia Pacific with a series of insightful panel discussions with interior design and architecture experts on evolving bathroom design trends. From redefining bathrooms to personalized sanctuaries, we explore the shift towards individual well-being.
Our bathroom routines have evolved into a ritual that is not only for cleansing and hygiene but also rejuvenates the mind and revitalizes the body. Designers seek to elevate this everyday routine by engaging all the senses to create a nourishing and immersive environment.
Designing a cohesive and holistic living space is about managing the delicate balance among the tangible aspects of the space; colors, materials, and finishes. With increased accessibility to a variety of materials and finishes, homeowners are now empowered with even more options to create their ideal home – transforming living spaces through harmony in design.
With the endless possibilities of creating a space that is unique and custom-made for you, panelists share how they push boundaries and adopt customization in product design tailored for our living spaces.
