ON•TAP recently visited the The International Sanitary and Heating Exhibition that was held in Frankfurt during March 2009. The eco-friendly theme was dubbed Blue Responsibility.
Designers usually go all-out with various basin mixer features and Hansgrohe raised the bar by introducing partially white-coated ones. These basin mixers appear to be one with the ceramic basin. Well-being extensions to bathroom lines were evident in a display where a series of hot tubs and saunas were integrated into a conscious space. Glazing sanitary ware was a new feature that stood out, with multi-tone colours displayed on one product - silver and black were the clear favourites. A retro-line with practical touches, a few his-'n-her tweaks and cleverly placed radiators with integrated mirrors created an outstanding design where the bathroom was brought into close quarters with the bedroom.
Steve Fouche from ON•TAP Northriding, commented that ISH is a must-see experience for anyone with a passion for up-and-coming bathroom trends. The exhibition was huge, with 10 exhibit halls and each one being about three times the size of the Coca-Cola Dome here in Johannesburg. You need a lot of time to browse, explains Steve.
Duane Seale from ON•TAP Stellenbosch, says that: The world’s sanitary brands at one exhibition under 'one roof' is a marvel to us humble South Africans. Upon visiting Hansgrohe in the Black Forest, one feels that the family values are still alive-and-well after 100 years. ISH 2009 has captivated all our senses.
