ALLURE FAUCET
With an astonishingly slim profile, this faucet from Grohe’s new wellness-focused Grohe Spa brand is a perfect fit for minimalist bathrooms—even in the vibrant Brushed Cool Sunrise finish. The faucet offers a unique haptic feedback, allowing precise control of the three-hole basin mixer. Grohe’s production and logistics facilities in Germany all run entirely on renewable energy, while its Thailand production plant is the most sustainable facility of its kind in Southeast Asia.

DEKTON ONIRIKA
In 2022, Cosentino expanded its carbon-neutral Dekton line of solid surfaces with the Onirika collection designed by Nina Magon. The eight marble-inspired patterns can be applied to countertops, walls, ceilings, and a host of other building surfaces. Somnia, shown here, is the perfect counterpart to dark woods, frosted glass, and textured metal finishes.

ADHESION
Developed in collaboration with Gensler, this linear drain is inspired by the science of adhesion, or the attraction of dissimilar materials. Pouring water on various surfaces, the design team observed the unique patterns the droplets formed as they moved and gathered, developing a drain design that is at once random and precise. Adhesion is offered as part of Infinity Drain’s patented Site Sizable and Fixed Length linear drain series in ten finishes.

SUPERPAINT WITH AIR PURIFYING TECHNOLOGY
In addition to having a zero-VOC formula, SuperPaint’s proprietary technology helps neutralize VOC off-gassing from other surfaces like cabinets, carpet, or fabrics. It also breaks down odors, which is especially helpful in the bathroom. SuperPaint is Greenguard Gold certified and comes with an environmental product declaration (EPD).
