The New Millennium. The age of Next.
4, 5History, innovation, design The 1970s. A newcomer, and already a Museum piece. Year of incorporation: 1972. Teuco immediately concentrates on novel materials like methacrylate,and on design, aiming to furnish the bathroom interior with revolutionary new tubs and showers. Having mastered the art of moulding methacrylate, Teuco was able to pioneer the notion of introducing ergonomically designed and truly elegant bathtubs and multifunction showers into what was then still very much a utilitarian bathroom interior. A bold step, and a swift reward: the Round Shower made by Teuco was made an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York, shown as an example of Italian style applied to technology. The 1990s. The depth of ultrasound. Teuco creates and patents Hydrosonic, the whirlpool-and-ultrasound massage that acts directly on cell tissue, giving a deep and unparalleled sensation of well-being. Teuco has a policy of constant research embracing every area of human science: in creating Hydrosonic, the company studied the effects of high frequency sound waves used in medicine. In effect, the Hydrosonic series affords tangible evidence of the high added value given by Teuco to its product, underpinning the strength of the brand and opening up new business opportunities. On the threshold of the new millennium, Teuco presents the Next series, confirming a solid vocation for leader-ship and a capacity for original, forward-thinking design. More exactly, heavy investments in systems and technologies herald the introduction of injection moulding, with all its many advantages in terms of design, maintenance, assembly, and low environmental impact. All reflected in the prestigious Next series of shower cabins. And this is also the moment of Cromoexperience, the chromotherapy based treatment that brings lights and colours into the cabin, adding yet another new dimension in personal well-being. The 1980s. Steam and electronics. Teuco comes up with an entirely new function for a shower cabin: the steam sauna, bringing countless benefits as an aid to health and beauty. A treatment available hitherto only at health centres can at last be enjoyed in the seclusion of the home. Meanwhile, electronics bring rarely experienced levels of comfort and luxury in multifunction showers and whirlpool baths. Teuco was the first to introduce such highly evolved functions, and electronics research has been instrumental ever since in maximizing relaxation and optimizing ease of use. Docciavision. The shower cult. Docciavision, the first ever transparent and tinted shower, and the most prestigious of the Next series. Fashioned in translucent blue methacrylate, this is a unique and exclusive item, destined to become the new symbol of Teuco’s capacity for innovation. Style given shape. Matter is moulded together with light and steeped in blue, the colour of sea and sky, of calm and well-being; chrome accessories add the crowning touch of refinement.Docciavision is an object of charm and sophistication, intended for people who want to stand out, even in their choice of bathroom interior.
