We want to create next level bathroom designs: Thomas Stopper

Speaking at the BW HOTELIER - Axor Hansgrohe "Design Innovation to Conservation" WeBBlast Series in his keynote address, Thomas Stopper, Vice President Asia, Hansgrohe, Shanghai talks about the company’s new launches and his vision to provide different scenarios as per the user's mood. He said, “The daily shower has become a special moment in the daily routine. The bathroom becomes a feel-good oasis and rest area from everyday life. Men, too, are increasingly looking for care and relaxation in the shower.”

“We want to create next level bathroom designs and serve our clientele all over the world,” he added.

Stopper further mentioned the company’s values ‘innovation, design and quality’ without compromising on the sustainability aspect. He informed that water and energy-saving products, environmentally friendly production and resource-efficient processes are among the top priorities of Hansgrohe. “Thanks to our sustainable technologies, an unsurpassed shower experience is being provided whilst costs can be saved over a long-time period,” he added.

The diverse audience at the first show, themed ‘Shower With All Senses’, of BW HOTELIER-HANSGROHE INDIA SERIES 2020 was also enlightened about Hansgrohe’s multi-sensory shower experience, RainTunes. Stopper commented, “With RainTunes, the ambition level was ten times to develop and define multi-sensory shower experiences. There is a big opportunity for us to leave the dimensional products and orchestrate experiences.”

“RainTunes is a digitally enabled shower solution where you shower according to your mood. Seven different scenarios can be controlled via an absolution which are the perfect symphony between water, sound, light, moving image and fragrance,” he added.
