The joint trade fair presentation by Grohe and Kaldewei at the imm cologne 2013 will focus on what these functions are and how each zone can be shown off to perfection. Under the motto Home Spa – Aqua Zones, the two sanitaryware companies aim to show how functional and aesthetic products can be used to turn the domestic bathroom into a private spa. The interplay between functionality and technology, aesthetics and design will take the leading role in the trade show display. The two partners will be showing an exciting mix of design styles as well as freely combinable modular systems.
