Health Through Water: GROHE Goes to Milan

Situated just steps from the iconic Duomo di Milano, GROHE welcomed guests from around the world to experience the transformative GROHE SPA installation in the courtyard of the Palazzo Reale, the former Royal Palace of Milan. This year’s installation was designed to pay tribute to the once lush landscape of the courtyard that displayed a quadrant of pristine gardenscapes surrounding a picturesque fountain. The exhibit paid homage to the rich history of the Palazzo Reale space while juxtaposing with the contemporary GROHE SPA “Health Through Water” experience, all tying to Milan Design Week’s overarching theme of Materia Natura. 

Throughout the week in Milan, GROHE SPA hosted a series of AquaTalks including one on the topic of Revitalization, featuring GROHE brand partner and visionary interior designer, Cesar Giraldo, and LIXIL Global Design Leader, Jean-Jacques L’Henaff. In case you missed it, here are some highlights.

What does Revitalization mean when it comes to crafting wellness-centered spaces? It is about creating a tailored design that offers a holistic, multi-sensory experience for those who seek indulgent moments to unwind from the everyday stresses and stimuli. It is about creating spaces that balance wellness across these sensory experiences such as reflection, revitalization and energization. Specifically, the bathroom has evolved significantly in meaning over the past few years, departing from that of purely utilitarian functions and now increasingly regarded as a sanctuary for self-care and relaxation. This shift in perception has led to a growing emphasis on creating bathroom environments that provide comfort and shift the concept of routine to ritual.
