GROHE Design

Based on real insights, we create consumer-centric kitchen and bathroom designs that allow individuals to experience the pure joy of water.

Award-winning design inspired by real life

“Pure Freude an Wasser” means a design that reflects a deep understanding of how people live and interact with their environment, how they create spaces that reflect their priorities and their style. It means that form and function are in harmony, that every line and detail resonates with the user. Honoured with more than 650 awards, GROHE’s award-winning kitchen and bathroom designs create memorable experiences based on real insights. 

The GROHE Design DNA

GROHE’s distinctive brand and design DNA is orchestrated from our European Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany. We have used the unique GROHE brand DNA to create a semantic code—known as the signature elements—that we use to design our products. The three signature elements unify our products across all draw-off points and categories and create a distinctive aesthetic, which is instantly recognisable as a GROHE product.

7 degrees

The angle of the handle and spout of our modern design taps is set to exactly 7 degrees. Research shows that this subtle inclination improves the user experience.
