RECRAFTING AN ICONOne of GROHE’s best-loved faucets has been redesigned for the next generation.
Michael Seum (Vice President Design) talks about revisiting a classic, challenging
the engineers, and creating an icon in the new Atrio

Redesigning a classic is a task not to be taken
lightly. It’s a design opportunity that involves
walking a tightrope between respecting the pastand opening oneself up to future ideas. Michael
Seum, Vice President Design at GROHE, wasdelighted however to step up to exactly thischallenge in the shape of redesigning the classic
GROHE Atrio faucet. It was, he says, an exciting
opportunity to build on the strengths of thisGROHE icon while giving it a feeling of timelessness.
“I felt it was a move we needed to make, to make theproduct more iconic,” he says. “To me, what makes
something iconic is that you could ask someone todraw it from memory. I wanted the faucet to besomething that doesn’t fade into the background,but that still gives pleasure to the user ten years fromnow.” The striking simplicity and purity of line in the
new Atrio faucet achieves exactly that.
“The original Atrio was a warhorse, a staple of thebrand which people were very attached to,” Michaelsays, explaining the mix of excitement andresponsibility that undertaking such a project
entailed. The original Atrio has been part of the
GROHE family of faucets for over 17 years, but it
was felt that a move to a more contemporary stylesegment was necessary for the product to remaincompetitive and relevant in the current market.
“In the past, Atrio was a mixture of style segments,
sitting somewhere between contemporary and cosmopolitan,” Michael explains of where Atrio waspositioned within the wider GROHE family. “In thisrelaunched Atrio series, we have firmly rooted the
new collection in our contemporary design segments
which is one of the most timeless of styles within the
GROHE SPA portfolio.”

Updating a design that has been so successful for abrand requires a delicate mix of skills, as well as
clarity and confidence about the aims of making sucha change. “The challenge was to find the balance
between paying respect to the previous line of Atrio,”
Michael says, “and creating something unique andnew, while also achieving design permanence. And
then, of course, our challenge is to stand out in ahighly competitive environment as well.”
Although no ideas or options were off the table, theresult of research, study, experimentation andrefinement has been to streamline the Atrio, making
the silhouette cleaner and more precise, with every
intersection pared back to be sleek and seamless.
The distinctive three-spoke handles on the faucet
have also been updated to a logical and visuallysatisfying four-prong cross shape that you can just
picture sitting comfortably in the palm of your hand.
“The new Atrio is an obsessive simplification of theprevious line,” confirms Michael. “The details within
the collection are composed of pure symmetricalintersections and a precise attention to proportionand scale. The result is an icon of pure elegance andprecision. I am proud of the team's design work.”“We explored so many different design possibilities
and in the end, came down to design reduction.”
Paring back a silhouette to the simplest possible
iteration, simplifying and clarifying each line so that
only the essential remains, gives the designer, asMichael points out, nowhere to hide.
The visual, however, is not the only concern for a
product that is as central to daily life as a faucet,
however. The aesthetics have to embody a deeper
ease of use that will make it a pleasure for consumers
to operate. For this it was not just the purity of theMichael Seum

form that was important, but also how the user
feels about interacting with it. That ineffable qualityof the tactile. For Michael, the art of making
someone want to reach out and touch the Atrio wasonce again based in the subtle, almost subliminal
use of GROHE’s central design DNA elements.
“The GROHE design DNA appears in every aspect,”he explains. ”The circle as the purest of forms is thebasis for the faucet as a whole, but also the lozenge
shape and the 7 degree angle that are GROHE
design signatures – the shape of the spout is drawn
from a pure lozenge shape and the spout angle isalso 7 degrees.”

design, feels Michael, is testament not only to theexpertise within the company, but also the desire
to keep everything moving forward, an appetite toimprove on excellence.

Laypeople could be forgiven for thinking that aredesign of an existing project is not as large a task
as designing something completely new, but for
Michael the distinction is negligible. “I don’t takethe approach of a redesign being any different todesigning from scratch,” Michael says. “I like tostart all design projects in the same way. We – thedesign team – get together with lots of blank sheetsof paper, so that we get input from everybody, lotsof ideas. We have people performing very varied
roles within the team, so for example I worked witha technical engineer throughout the process.” Thefinished faucet went through 18 months of intensive
design work, with every existing element
considered, challenged and rethought.

Michael is keen to emphasize that the redesign had
nothing to do with trends – quite the opposite. “I
think for every trend there is a counter trend,” hesays. “The idea behind new Atrio is design
permanence – the design is going to last a longtime.”

Alongside the work of the whole in-house design
team, the realization of the project was thanks to
the incredible reservoir of engineering skill available
at GROHE. Michael emphasizes that the longevityof the product, the elusive qualities that go into
making any iconic design, is not just about thevisual work, but also live in the craftsmanship whichis then applied to make the design a reality. This
craftsmanship will in turn be something that theuser experiences every day of the product’s life.
If the redesign gave the designers nowhere tohide, then the same was true of the technicaldemands. The project not only pushed the design
team, but also the technicians and engineers at
GROHE. “When I showed the drawings to thetechnical engineer, at first, he turned to me andsaid ‘are you joking?’” admits Michael. “In fact hesaid something not safe for print! Because it was ahuge challenge. It’s a very narrow aperture into
which we have to fit a lot inside the faucet. So it
was technically very challenging.” The fact that
GROHE not only rose to meet the demands laid
down by the design team, but were keen toembrace the updating of this much-loved faucet

10“It shows that progress is not always about
technology” he adds. In the enthusiasm for digitaladvances and the exciting future for consumers
offered by developments in the area of the ‘Smart
Home’, GROHE is also prepared to look at analog
solutions, as well as to learn from and build on theirsuccesses in order to remain at the forefront of themarket.

However he admits that an additional benefit of thehoned lines of the new Atrio is that it creates a
product that can stand alone, but is versatile enoughto meet the evolving needs of the consumer ordesigner. “It’s a faucet that can be very at home in a
number of settings” he says, and as consumers
demand a greater choice of finishes and variations– one currently being met by GROHE’s increased
selection of brassware finishes – so the Atrio isstrong and streamlined enough to take on these
extra options while retaining its own visual identity.
Longevity means creating a product with its own
irreducible logic, its own integrity, which can sit
comfortably within a variety of settings and styles
without losing its own instantly recognizable
identity. In the new Atrio just this combination ofversatility and solidity has been achieved.
“The elegance of the Atrio collection gives interior
designers, architects, and consumers more
flexibility in terms of what type of bath environments
they can create,” Michael says. “Atrio has acontemporary feel, but I think with the right colourand finish this collection can totally transform to sit
comfortably within other environments. It offers the
freedom to use it in any way possible.”
Whether it is in chic, sleek SuperSteel or a masculine
Brushed Hard Graphite finish, placed in a converted
church, Art Deco apartment or ultra-modern
warehouse, the faucet will be instantly recognisableand enduringly desirable. A statement of timelesstaste, made with precision.

SALZBURGJEWELS OF SALZBURG

Jewels of Salzburg is a unique premium residential
project in Austria. The singular design of these units
communicates with surrounding natural rock formations, which are part of the concept. The Salzach
river is also present, in the form of a narrow creek.
“The master plan of this development abstractly mimics the city and becomes microcosm of the city ofSalzburg itself.“
The design of the GROHE Minta single-leverbasin mixer was literally inspired by the element ofwater. The rinsing arm for the L-shaped faucet has
the greatest imaginable flexibility, making thewashing of large pots an expression of freedom.
Due to EasyDock the rinsing arm glides gently outof the housing and back in again – the Glideflex®
hose has very little friction and a small lead counterweight. This comfortable kitchen gem is anindispensable part of Jewels of Salzburg.

The Westin Hotel is situated in one of the most spectacular locations in Hamburg. The Elbphilharmonie isa magnet for people from across the globe. The hotel,
housed in the east wing of the building, is a highlightof the work of the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The interior design was consciously kept purist
so as not to distract from the tremendous view of thecity and the river Elbe. In conceptual terms, the elements of sand, water, and air are themes that arefound on the exterior and inside the building.

The architecture of “Elphi” calls to mind
shipping and wave motifs. 1,100 reflecting
glass elements were inserted in the facade.

All 12 suites at the Westin are individuallydesigned and have grandiose views. The
glass facades were printed with grey dots toprevent the building from heating up too
much.

was the first choice. Grohtherm 2000

In the port’s luxury hotel the motif of water had to bethought out to the end. The development of the bathrooms was a special focus. To support the
restrained interior furnishings, minimalist GROHE
products were chosen. Both the GROHE Cosmopolitan Design and the clear contours of the linear
fittings shine. The Grohtherm 300 Cosmopolitan
thermostat ensures showering pleasure with perfectwater temperatures with a view of Hamburg harbour.

CENTER PARCS
This holiday park in southern Holland is situatedamidst lush forests and lakes. Center Parcs offers
cosy cottages in different categories, for two to ten
people. “During the creation of this cottage nothing
was off-limits. Everything had to be right. We would
settle for nothing less than 100%,” says Hans Dekkers, Director of Accommodation & Cleaning at
Center Parcs.
1“In every room, we want our guests to marvel,'Wow, I wish I had this at home,'“ explains Dekkers.
Guests will also have this feeling in the bathrooms
thanks to the prizewinning GROHE Sensia Arena
shower toilet. With GROHE Rainshower SmartControl, showering in the cottage under trees becomesan incredible 3D experience. In the kitchen there is
the innovative GROHE Red boiler system enabling
guests to obtain boiling hot water for tea directlyfrom the faucet. With the intelligent GROHE Bluewater filter still or sparkling water can be tapped,chilled or at room temperature.

An ultra-modern building complex was built tohouse the new AZ Zeno hospital. The architects'
ambitious plan was to create a place where patients,
visitors and staff are all comfortable and where
high-quality care is cultivated. Architecturally, it issuspended above the landscape and the architecture is meant to contribute to the healing process.
The contactless GROHE Eurosmart CE and Eurosmart Cosmopolitan E are intelligent solutions in
hospitals, where hygiene regulations are extremely
important. Due to the seamless transition between
body and spout, they can also be cleaned easily.
Efficient technologies help conserve water andenergy and are in line with the concept of the hospital, which has stringent environment-protection

goals for the structure, which were met with intelligent architecture design solutions. The arena holds
67,703 people.
In this state-of-the-art stadium sporty and hygienic
solutions were needed in the sanitary facilities.
GROHE Euroeco Cosmopolitan is a durable selfclosing faucet that reliably delivers pre-mixed orcold water. After the game, the teams refresh themselves under the GROHE Tempesta, or the GROHE
Relexa deluxe head shower, which with all GROHE
technologies cuts a fine figure and stands out due
to its durability.

Intérieure.
The GROHE Atrio line, which adheres to the Bauhaus
principle of “form follows function,” harmonises withthe pure elegance of Le Tsuba Hotel. The clear lines ofbasic shapes are coupled with leading-edge GROHE technology. The GROHE Rainshower Cosmopolitan head
shower is a further ornamental highlight in the interior.

was not only to preserve the spirit of the building,but also to enable people to experience it anew. To
this end, they opted for a robust and discreet interior design. State-of-the-art furnishings form a gentle
contrast.
For the rustic and stylish bathrooms, the architects
chose the GROHE Eurosmart Cosmopolitan. The
high, curved faucet is an elegant eye-catcher in the
traditional ambience of the historic building. In theshowers Euphoria shower sets offer guests
pleasant relaxation. GROHE EcoJoy technology
promotes conscious use of water and electricity,and has economic benefits for hoteliers.

112“Inhale, exhale, arrive.” The me and all hotel has aclear intention and it is well received. The interior
designers from GEPLAN Design relied on reduction,
quality and global Zen. Tranquility. Security.
Togetherness. The hotel is a declaration of love for
Dusseldorf and intends to create precisely the space
guests seek. A temporary home, a workspace ora space for exchange? Local heroes, travellers andlingerers come together here. “Dusseldorf for everyone for a change!”1

For the me and all hotel the perfect lounge
is a mixture of “many nice people, goodsounds, comfortable armchairs and delicious
food in a street-food format.” With a greatview of the city to boot.

Guests shower with a view of the Dusseldorf
Old Town. Additionally, the GROHE Euphoria
shower system provides unlimited water

There is only one faucet line that can pick up on thisstraightforward concept: the GROHE Lineare series
stands for straight lines and geometric minimalism.
Both at the me and all hotel and with Lineare, thefocus is on the elementary. The GROHE EcoJoy
water-saving technology conserves valuable resources. At a hotel with constantly changing users,
this benefits the environment and the wallet. Water
consumption is reduced by up to 50% withoutcompromising comfort.

BANGKOK
VITTORIO

Vittorio villas in Bangkok belong to the ultimate luxury class. Each apartment is uniquely designed
and all corners are phenomenal. Due to the singularquarter building layout, each living unit has a whole
section of the building all to itself. No unit shares awall with other residents and that in a city of
millions.
Given the outstanding luxury of the interior design,
only GROHE Allure Brilliant was suitable. The Diamond series with the polished design is unbeatable.
The many angles, the gloss and the love of detailhighlight the gem-like character of this line. These
premium faucets are revered by the residents of
Vittorio apartments.

OSAKA
DIG IN
THE SKY

1

In the heart of Osaka in Japan, Kentaro Takeguchi
and Asako Yamamoto from Alphaville Architects
designed a residence consisting of three buildings
sandwiching two courtyards, in order to bring lightto a narrow area surrounded by neighbouring houses on three sides. The interior, which is not confined by private rooms or doors, enables people totake different routes to get to their destination andhas a cityscape feel thanks to tubes serving as
semi-public space.
In this minimalist masterpiece, every product waschosen with mindful consideration. The GROHE
Minta kitchen faucet, an absolute top-seller, lives up
to this requirement. The GROHE Minta Touch edition enables the water to be turned on and off withjust a slight touch leaving no smudges. It represents
a new level of kitchen faucets. Swivelling 360°, thefaucet offers users a great deal of day-to-day
comfort.

2

174

1

The architects connected the rooms with
tube-shaped corridors and staircases thatcross the courtyards.

2

The rooms are joined by tube-shaped
corridors and rather than being separated
by doors are loosely linked by long
stretch-shaped entrances.

3

Purism is also the leitmotif of the kitchen of
the Dig in the Sky house. The GROHE Minta
faucet, here with an L-shaped spout, canalso be had with a curved C-spout. Bothhave a pull-out mousseur.

4

The tubes dance in the air. Part of the firstfloor consists of pilotis. A floating tube
crosses the courtyard diagonally andobstructs or reveals sights and noise
between rooms and neighbouring houses.
