By: Pipers International To see the latest Bathroom trends from around the world I have travelled abroad to the world's biggest bathroom trade fair; I have to say the future of bathrooms is exciting! Large scale displays show off new trends and design developments, as well as modern technology designed to meet today's needs; the complete spectrum of high tech and high end design. All market and technology leaders from around the world launch their new, fully developed technologies and solutions onto the world market at ISH in Frankfurt. Designing is much more about providing long term comfort through the generations to come. This makes sense; Germans like to build things to last! This was further backed by a study the German Sanitary Association presented at the show. Their research findings from 'bathrooms of the future' concluded design should be for all, it should help people to live long, independent lives in their own homes. Companies like Grohe impress me with their master ideas; the standout was hard to choose between the steam shower with bluetooth light control, steam and audio or foaming cappuccino like bath! I also enjoyed the impact and drama of the flying taps with large rain showers. Most of all I was impressed with the sheer size of their display, the buzz in the meeting lounge and excitement to show you through. There is a focus on the efficient use of water. Additionally, emphasis is given to the growing expectation on demand, ease of operation and solutions taking account demographic changes experienced by building planners. Statement designer pieces including printed glass shower screens and timeless quirky tapware throughout were exquisite. In particular I thought the Pinocchio themed tapware was clever. Large space ship like shower enclosures were of interest but have absolutely no place in the Australian market. Overall, my first experience of visiting this fair gave me immense inspiration to take back to my team! Well worth the 24 hour flight! ____________________________________________________________ Australian label Pipers International draws on inspiration from global organic and architectural elements from Australia to trendy Hong Kong to design world leading shower screens, shower bases, bathroom & building products.
