Hansgrohe Reinvents The Washbasin With Avalegra

hansgrohe Reinvents the Washbasin with Avalegra

With Avalegra AquaUnit, hansgrohe has invented a completely new product category: an impressive interplay of washbasin and faucet in one unit. The AquaUnit combines familiar and new elements in a sophisticated and unprecedented way. However, the most obvious innovation is not the combination of two product worlds, but the way in which Avalegra presents the element of water: on the one hand, the water flows classically from top to bottom, like a waterfall; on the other hand, water can also take the opposite route - bubbling up from below like a crystal-clear spring.

New Ways of Experiencing Water

With the aim of making daily routines at the washbasin as natural, comfortable and enjoyable as possible, Avalegra is leading the way. In addition to a curved, slim and swivelling spout, Avalegra has an integrated shower spray. This allows water to be experienced at the washbasin in a completely new and refreshing way: like an inviting gesture, water comes towards the user from the centre of the control element in a parabolic shape. The integrated pressure limiter reduces water consumption to five litres per minute for the shower and, thus, supports the sustainable use of water. In both cases, water is then gently collected from the Solid Surface washbasin.

One Piece of Design

All the operating elements of the Avalegra AquaUnit are combined into a single functional unit. The integrated spray disk takes centre stage. The handles on the right control the water volume, spray type, and temperature. Favourite temperatures are simply set for the next use. The control unit's surface is available in five FinishPlus colours: Chrome, Matt Black, Brushed Black Chrome, Brushed Bronze, and Polished Gold Optic.

The colour contrast between the basin and the control unit is deliberate. The matt white washbasin made of Solid Surface material is durable, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The non-porous and homogeneous surface prevents deposits and is easy to clean. If a scratch does occur, it can be polished away. Avalegra, therefore, remains a visual highlight in any bathroom.

Tradition Meets Modernity

Although Avalegra is an absolute novelty, the installation is not any different: thanks to pre-assembled components, installation is just as quick and easy as with any other washbasin with a faucet. With its elegant design language, the AquaUnit harmonises perfectly with other hansgrohe innovations such as the Raindance Alive shower product line or the furniture from the Xevolos series.
