Bathroom brand Grohe hosts a new installation dubbed Aquatecture which was presented at this year's Milan Design Week resting in the neoclassical Palazzo Reale courtyard. It is designed by its in-house design team Lixil Global Design with a focus on honoring the power of water and the building's history as it was formerly a garden. The installation took place between April 16 to 21st highlighting the luxe bathroom products by its sub-brand Grohe Spa.
Patrick Speck, the Global Design Leader at Lixel explains, "Through our installation at Palazzo Reale, we reflect the intricate bond between nature and human creativity, intertwining the rich history of the royal palace with the modern ethos of Grohe Spa. Our Aquatecture spaces exhibit the powerful connection of water in architecture. They stand not only as showcases but as inspiration for architects and designers, encouraging collaboration and experimentation."
