VitrA taps into technology
Published:  03 November, 2008

International bathroom manufacturer VitrA has a 66-year record of innovation and pioneering design. Responsible for a number of bathroom ‘firsts', including working with Ross Lovegrove to create the world's first integrated pedestal and washbasin, the manufacturer has now pledged to bring technology to the bathroom.

Erol Donmez, managing director for VitrA UK, comments: "VitrA has already begun to manufacture sanitaryware operated by sensors, innovative bathroom furniture and lighting effects for both practical purposes and to create special mood effects."

High Q+ is an innovative range created by German designers NOA for VitrA, which combines functionality, technology and modern design. The High Q+ basin uses lighting effects to flood the bathroom in colour, creating the perfect mood enhancer. Tones of blue help consumers to relax while vibrant yellow makes the ideal early-morning pick-me up.

When the basin is in use, the LEDs (which are fitted below a glass basin), change colour according to the temperature of the water; blue for cold, red for hot. The control and heat of the water is operated by a movement sensor, meaning its touch-free technology offers  hygiene benefits.

In Ross Lovegrove's Istanbul collection for VitrA, technology also plays a part. The WC pan has a cluster of LED lights operated by sensors so when you make a late night trip to the bathroom it lights up to guide you to the pan. During the day, it adds a great novelty factor.

VitrA's ranges offer strong, design-led products that are practical and considered which can be implemented into compact bathrooms or the most luxurious of spaces.
