Showroom Turned into Stage
“GROHE pursues the brand values of technology, quality, design and sustainability, seeking to develop new innovations that bring value to our customers," said Bijoy Mohan, CEO of LIXIL Asia. "In the same vein, we strive to up the ante on the retail front, making this showroom a stage where GROHE’s advancements in water technology are brought to life in a realistic as well as virtual way. More importantly, we want to inspire and change the way consumers interact with our products."

GROHE SPA is equipped with smart technologies that help consumers and designers to better visualise and plan their selections. One of the store’s highlights is the built-in Shower Configurator where the preferred shower system can be virtually selected.

All in all, visitors to the flagship store can try hundreds of GROHE products virtually and in 3D.

Alternatively, they can also directly project their selections onto aninteractive touchscreen display interface to better understand each product and view how these are used in hotel and housing projects around the world. Customers can also bring their own bathroom pictures and equip them with GROHE productsusing an app, tofind out, for example, which type of fitting goes best with which shower. Using their smartphone and viewing a 360-degree photo, consumers will be able to see whatthat would look like. In addition, the redesigned bathroom is also virtually accessible with VR Goggles 3D glasses.
