The new hansgrohe Activera S Select shower line promises to enhance daily routines with its blend of intuitive design and water-saving features. This collection, designed in collaboration with PHOENIX, a renowned German design studio, focuses on improving the everyday shower experience. PHOENIX, known for its interdisciplinary approach across architecture, interiors, and product design, brings a clean and timeless aesthetic to the collection, ensuring it remains versatile across various bathroom styles.
Its subtle aesthetic, available in Chrome and Matte Black, ensures it fits well in various bathroom styles. The real innovation, however, lies in its functionality. The design philosophy prioritizes comfort and usability, avoiding unnecessary complexity while focusing on the small, noticeable improvements in daily use.
A key feature is the SelectButton, which allows users to switch between spray modes directly on the shower. This removes the need for twisting knobs or adjusting settings mid-shower. The button’s placement and responsiveness are designed for ease, even when hands are soapy or when users are half-awake in the morning.
The Rain mode provides a gentle flow for relaxation, ideal for unwinding after a long day or preparing for bed. In contrast, ImpactRain delivers a stronger stream, perfect for quick rinses or morning invigoration. These modes are tailored to cater to different moments, ensuring the shower adapts to the user’s needs without fuss.
The line incorporates hansgrohe’s EcoSmart and EcoSmart+ technology, cutting water usage without sacrificing comfort. Water flow is limited to 8 or 6 litres per minute, depending on the model. This efficiency is particularly valuable in regions like Singapore, where water conservation and cost management are critical concerns for homeowners.
