A true pioneer, Nestler obtained a lathe – no easy feat in 1873 when an entrepreneurial...

tHEOCHaRis liOlis Master of Technology, has produced unbeatably hardwearing tap surfaces with GROHE StarLight®.

D. eichelberg (established in 1817) Deutsche Armaturenfabrik Leipzig (established in 1910) and Armaturenwerke Lang & Co. (established in 1897). eichelberg’s forward-looking breakthroughs in metalworking were even showcased in a “brassware gallery” at the first World’s Fair in London in 1951.

EuroCuBE Bathroom maKE a CLEar StatEmENt Straightforward, attractive and always focused on the essential. Cosmopolitan life in the teeming city becomes a bit more manageable if you are surrounded by straight lines. the overarching concept of GrohE Eurocube evokes the dynamic lifestyle of busy people and celebrates the dramatic beauty of the cube. Enjoy a bit of clarity.

Pure metropolitan design. No ifs, no buts, no deviations. Eurocube bath architecture has that clear sense of rigour that comes with innovative technology, exemplified by the GrohE StarLight® chrome finish.

Modern rationality. the sharply cut square blends visually with the flat surfaces of the elegant double washbasin and the luxurious wall-mounted WC for a harmonious effect.

Eurocube’s angular looks conceal something silky soft: GrohE Silkmove® technology for easy handling.

Clear profile. the minimalist 4-hole tub and bold, artistic design combine to form a greater whole. the modern Eurocube Shower combination with rainshower® echoes the angular styling.

Innovative design, strictly applied. this range’s cubic forms are reflected in all fittings, complementing the whole bathroom to the smallest detail. the geometric washbasin tap employs straight lines and delivers a perfect stream of water thanks to the slightly chamfered spout. For product information and technical details please see page 148 and following.

a striking style element, the square cut-out detail on the lever handle softens the angularity and lends a unique look.
