Jaquar Debuts At ISH 2013

The ISH in Frankfurt is an iconic bath and wellness fair for global players. Jaquar becomes the first Indian company to mark its presence here paving the way for its increasing penetration and growth in world markets.

Jaquar manufactures products in categories ranging from faucets, sanitary ware and shower systems to wellness products like whirlpools and shower panels. The company currently holds a remarkable 60% share of the Indian bath fittings market.

Jaquar’s participation in the iconic ISH fair is noteworthy as this event has become a global platform for the world’s best companies to showcase product and innovation connected with the bathroom experience. The 27th ISH show was all about dealing efficiently with energy and water. From the 12th to the 16th of March 2013, the world’s leading manufacturers presented their new cutting edge products – many of them for the first time in the world.

Among this elite group, Jaquar was the very first Indian company to showcase its innovative bathroom designs. The company highlighted its latest range of bath fittings and solutions – keeping its sights on the needs of the present generation as well as underlining its product development for the future.

Mr. Sandeep Shukla, Head Marcom, Jaquar Global Operations

Mr. Sandeep Shukla, Head Marcom, Jaquar Global Operations, talked to The Inside Track about the company’s experience at the fair and the road ahead for the firm.

Jaquar is the first Indian bath fitting company to be present at ISH, Frankfurt. What were the reasons for participating in this event?

As part of its global marketing strategy and communication initiatives, Jaquar wanted to showcase its latest and innovative bathing concepts at the worlds’ largest fair and interact with its global audience of trade partners, architects and plumbing consultants. Jaquar’s prime reason to be at ISH was to showcase unique and complete bathing concepts; new shower ideas; and coordinated bath suites with faucets and sanitary ware.

Which were the product ranges showcased at ISH?

In line with the key themes of ISH, Jaquar showcased the latest in bathroom trends, with a wide range of coordinated bath displays highlighting bath spaces of the future as a singular identity rather than a combination or assimilation of various products.

Jaquar displayed its newly designed, futuristic ranges of bath fittings featuring innovative qualities – from material usage to ergonomic design and advanced electronics-enabled features. And not surprisingly, it captured the imagination of the visitors and attracted a lot of interest and enquiry from various parts of Europe, especially for its state-of-the-art spa-style showers.

Jaquar launched over 7 new bath fittings which were innovative and the first of its kind in the industry. Amongst these was Linea, a basin mixer that stands out for its striking design feature of a graceful swinging spout. The spout also acts as the faucet’s on-off mechanism that pivots to form an arc controlling the temperature of water along its curve.

How has participation at ISH helped brand “Jaquar”?

It reinforces our vision to be a global player and address our global customer base. Such fairs help Jaquar establish its complete and coordinated bathing position among traders and professionals. It is also a great platform to showcase our latest designs and get validation for your efforts. The response here was truly amazing and enriching.

How was the Jaquar brand and products received? After ISH are we also going to see Jaquar at any other upcoming global fairs?

A number of European trade associations/dealers displayed an interest in the Jaquar range. The Jaquar approach towards style, design and coordinated faucet and sanitary ware as a concept was well appreciated. Jaquar at ISH was attended by its global channel partners, associates and consultants from various countries. Apart from its associates, Jaquar witnessed attendance and enquiry from various channel and trade partners from many parts of Europe, Russia and Australia. Innovation in bath fittings, quality and especially value for style products was the highlight of the show, the trends which will be driving the bath industry in coming years. In such a similar move, Jaquar will be showcasing its latest innovative products in the upcoming Saudi Build, Riyadh and iSaloni in Milan, Italy in the future.

In which countries does Jaquar operate? Are there any plans to broaden the net?

Currently Jaquar operates in 25 countries across Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe. As part of our global expansion strategy we want to enter into various European markets while consolidating our position in certain emerging markets like Thailand, Malaysia and Africa.

What is the vision for Jaquar in 2020?

In line with our vision of a complete bathing solutions company, Jaquar will continue to innovate high quality bathing concepts and products which are novel and practical. This will always be at the core of our strategy.

The Best For Your Bathroom

Today’s modern bathrooms are more than just places for mundane everyday rituals. They have become personal escape and sanctuaries for rest and rejuvenation. If you compare a bath space of today with one from a few decades ago you would not only notice aesthetic differences, but also a huge attitude shift.

The modern-day bath space is a ‘room’ in itself; a place that brings beauty and wellbeing to everyday life, a place to decorate and a room to live in. No wonder then that the industry has a dedicated trade fair in the form of ISH which showcases the latest trends and products in bathroom.

This year the ISH fair emerged more successful than ever. The event highlighted the way water is used and set new accents with regard to cross-generation bathrooms along with associated trends towards holistic room concepts.

The bath space engulfs various elements – that include water closets, showers, bath mixers, shower trays and drains, wash basins, wellness products and complete bath suites. Here’s an insight into some of the most exciting products that you can look forward to including in your bathroom soon.

Bath Suites

Entire solutions and complete design concepts can transform your bathroom into an everyday sanctuary. Complete bath suites incorporate holistic bathroom concepts and integrated designs to deliver a unified stylistic offering.

The Exelen Project by Antoniolupi

The Exelen project by Antoniolupi is one such bathroom furnishing system with compositions that can adapt to satisfy every spatial requirement. It covers various furnishing typologies present in the bathroom that include washbasins, bathtubs and showers, horizontal and vertical cupboards, mirrors and glass that blend together, overlap and flank each other, while speaking a shared language of their architectural origins.

Kartell by Laufen

The ‘Kartell by Laufen’ bathroom collection also saw a lot of interest as it highlighted the combination of two materials that could hardly be more different. The Italian company Kartell uses plastic, one of the youngest materials in human history, to create high quality furniture and designer objects. While Laufen has always created its designer bathroom concepts using traditional vitreous china and fine fireclay, this collection saw a unique synergy between these two materials and companies.

Bathing Rituals

Alluring bath mixers, relaxing showers and cubicles, an array of panels, trays and even drains can help create a perfect bathroom escape. Beautiful fixtures make bathing an experience to cherish as they today come with several intuitive functions and in an array of beautiful designs to suit your preference.

A Shower Tablet by Hansgrohe

The Hansgrohe ShowerTablet Select 300 is one such mixer which comes with a surface-mounted thermostat and an attractive and generously dimensioned shelf.

Me Time Spa by Keuco

The aesthetic Me Time Spa shower from Keuco takes the form of a waterfall allowing the primal power of water to act on you helping you relax your mind, body and soul. The water treatments inspired by Sebastian Kneipp are perfect for allowing the soothing and relaxing effects of water to work their magic. With its Spa Hose one can experience the alternative health-promoting therapy in the privacy of your own bathroom.

Sensory Sky by Dornbracht

Ceiling and hand showers are designed to please and refresh. These showers render a therapeutic effect apart from its usual function of bathing. Dornbracht makes showering a unique experience that touches all the senses. With Sensory Sky different types of rain, fog, light and fragrances complement one another to create complex choreographies. Its ‘Readjust’ setting sensitises and sharpens the senses with warm fog and light rain; ‘Release’ cleanses and liberates as a summer cloudburst would; whereas ‘Rejoice’ protects, envelops and stabilises, with water droplets glistening in the colours of the rainbow.

Toto’s Gyro hand shower

The Toto hand held shower offers different sprays at the click of a button. It offers a Cascade flow and Gyrostream sprays. The Cascade flow produces a broad stream of water reminiscent of a small waterfall whereas, the Gyrostream is a massage function. The jets evenly pulsate the water as it leaves the shower head to massage and invigorate the body.

(From T to B) Waterfall, Mist, Column by Rainjoy

With Rainjoy by Artize the pleasure of taking a shower is multiplied. Rainjoy offers a variety of bathing experiences with its new overhead shower system. These include a waterfall shower which feels natural and timeless; a mist mode where tiny droplets gently cover you with freshness and a vertical pillar of water that uses gravity to deliver invigorating pressure on any part of the body you choose.

Great storage in a Roomy by Vitra

Helping you stay cocooned in your hydro sanctuary are innovative shower trays and drains. A smart solution called Roomy was unveiled by Vitra at ISH. Roomy is a compact shower unit that can incorporate a large storage unit with deep drawers. With this innovative system from VitrA it is now easy to store everything in the bathroom that takes up space and needs to be hidden from sight.

The Terran shower tray by Roca

The Terran shower trays by Roca are made of Stonex, a strong and durable material. These trays are offered in a variety of sizes and their textured finish makes them slip-resistant and give it a beautiful tactile quality.

Aco drains it in style

Another stylish offering was the C-line shower drain by Aco. These drains prove to be a functional and aesthetically pleasing drainage solution for the bathroom. The C-line series offers a choice of three elegantly designed stainless steel gratings that match the shower channels.

Wellness

Most people today aim at creating a personal spa in their home as a haven for rest and rejuvenation. All this leads to a sense of complete wellness.

Sound Wave by Kaldewei

Adding to this effort is Kaldewei’s vision of music in the bathroom. The new Sound Wave acoustic bath enhances the experience of relaxation by adding a bath audio system. The system acts as a sound box to create exceptional sounds with or without water.

The Starck 2 tub by Duravit with its built-in neckrest

The Duravit Starck 2 bathtub features an outstanding detail to add to your wellness pleasure – an integrated neckrest. Inspired by archaic models, this element is typical of Philippe Starck. The neckrest forms a harmonious part of the overall design and resembles a board inset into the bathtub, enabling the user to lie back in comfort.

Smart Water by Dornbracht

Adding technology to your home spa, Dornbracht’s Smart Tools is an intelligent system that networks bathroom components with one another while conveniently individualising applications.

A new foot bath by Dornbracht

The retractable faucet on the new foot bath unit of Dornbracht is particularly well-suited for delivering water to the calves. Besides the new fixture can be controlled either mechanically or by using Smart Tools, the new digital console that Dornbracht has developed.

Washing Up

Stylish faucets and sanitaryware can add some excitement to your daily brushing and washing routines.  Innovation in the wash basin space has resulted in products that are intuitive and at the same time ergonomic.

The Organic basin mixer by Axor

The Axor Starck Organic wash basin mixer allows you to use water and energy economically. The mixer consists of 90 individual outlets, each producing countless gentle drops of water. It has a normal flow rate of 3.5 liters per minute that can be increased to 5 liters per minute if a stronger spray is required.

Silenzio disappears into the wall

Antoniolupi’s Silenzio stands apart as it appears to come out of the wall, giving it a life and shape. The Silenzio washbasin is realized in Corian and after it has been positioned (with puttying and plastering), it can be painted just like the rest of the wall so that it disappears into the same.

The SG Washbasin and under counter unit by Toto

The SG washbasin by Toto has an inviting, smart and lightweight design and is available in two sizes. The ultra-smooth CeFiONtect glaze makes this ceramic surface brilliant and durable. It prevents mould, limescale and waste from accumulating. Unlike conventional ceramic coatings, CeFiONtect can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. The SG washbasin combined with the sub-cabinet and faucet creates a harmonious ensemble.

The Dornbracht Washstand

Designed by Sieger Design, the pivoting outlet on the Dornbracht washstand enables a convenient mouth rinse. Water temperature and volume can be precision-controlled with a single flick of the wrist.

Water Closets

These new and innovative products make this space more than just a place for mundane everyday rituals.

Toto’s high-tech Washlet

The water closets by Toto and Roca have deployed cutting-edge technology giving rise to higher standards of cleanliness and water conservation. The rimless SG Washlet by Toto is a true innovation. It offers two new self-cleaning technologies – Actilight and ewater+. The Actilight technology allows UV light in the seat lid to be activated for a specific amount of time once the lid is closed. Once the light hits the zirconium coating, photocatalysis accelerates the decomposition process of all of the organic substances on the surface. After the toilet has been used, the Washlet sprays the toilet bowl once again with electrolyzed water. This antibacterial ewater+ actively prevents the build-up of limescale and waste, keeping the toilet bowl far cleaner over time.

In-Tank by Roca

Roca stays true to its values of innovation, design, functionality and sustainability with its new WC – In-Tank. This is the first toilet in the world with a dual switch and cistern both integrated. This design incorporates the brand’s latest technology in water conservation and comfort, combining practicality, design and respect for the environment.

Flushing Systems

An adjustable WC element by Viega

Smart solutions built to last are expressed clearly with the height adjustable WC element by Viega which has the tried-and-tested Viega flush mounted cistern technology that can be combined with all conventional WC ceramics.

Accessories and Storage

Sesamo by Antoniolupi

Beautiful trimmings and practical stowing arrangements will turn this otherwise run-of-the-mill space into your favourite ‘room’ in the house. With a new approach to “designed” bathroom environments, Sesamo by Antoniolupi represents a space where no visual disturbance is granted, and the eye can focus on architecture, bath or sinks. The niches are made of stainless steel and can be coated with the same wall material without any limits to the type of finish, maximum hygiene and functionality.

iLook Move adds to your charms

Feeling beautiful means feeling good, it is no wonder that a cosmetic mirror is right at the top of the popularity scale of daily beauty care accessories. As a practical utensil for your daily beauty routine, Keuco’s cosmetic mirror iLook Move is particularly impressive. The mirror can be turned up or to the side and tilted for the ideal angle due to the flexibility of its adjustable arm. The mirror also has a LED light source that gives off a sensual aura of elegance – whether illuminated or not. The glare-free lighting technology comes in two versions – with one or two light colours.

How To Create a Luxurious Bathroom In Your Home !

How To Create a Luxurious Bathroom In Your Home

To make that luxury bathroom a reality, you have to have a plan. Make a decision as to what amenities you want to have in the bathroom. Most luxury bathrooms have the bathtub the shower and the toilet in one room. If all these amenities can fit and leave enough space for you to stay in, then this should be it, if you cannot have all together, you may have to deal with one or two of the amenities or expand the space. 

The main amenities are very important, but so are the accessories of a luxury bathroom. Make sure you have enough space to fit the sink and the medicine cabinet. Do not forget the shower curtain, the towel rail and probably a towel cupboard, you may need extra space in the bathroom to store your hair dryer and shavers and the like. Arranging all the amenities so that they fit can be hard in a small space but with an experienced contractor you will get the space you need for all the things you want. 

Space:

A utilitarian room, most bathrooms are small to allow for more room in other areas of the home. So instantly, a larger bathroom is a luxury. Create the appearance of more space by removing visual clutter, choosing a monochromatic color palette, and using a few additional luxurious qualities. 

Light:

Like space, light is a commodity that can be in short supply, and its abundance in the bathroom is a luxury. If you’re lucky enough to have large windows and no close neighbors, consider going bare. If not, stick to sheers or window coverings that let in the most light possible. For those with air shaft views or no windows, consider lighting that mimics natural sunlight. 

Materials:

Luxurious bathrooms use beautiful, natural materials on floors and walls. Granite, marble, river rock, teak – all luxury, all from nature. Invest in quality natural materials. Not only are they luxurious, quality lasts forever and never goes out of style. 

Texture:

Texture wants us to touch. Whether feeling your feet go from the sleek stone floor to the plush sheepskin rug or enveloping yourself in a warm bath surrounded by velvet curtains, textures create intimacy. 

Though easier to implement than the proceeding qualities, it’s the hardest for upkeep.Bathrooms are warm, wet and steamy, not the best conditions for sheepskin rugs and velvet curtains. Consider varying texture in other ways: plush towels and bathrobes, a teak or rock mat to contrast with stone floors. 

Detail:

Fireplaces, sofas, tufted gold bathtubs, bronze statues- all are details that personalize the space. But detail doesn’t have to be large and over the top. Something as simple as a tray with a candle, a book and some tea, a chandelier or pretty decorative storage can elevate a space. Whatever your definition of luxury, you can recreate it in the details. 

Layout:

Rearrange your bathroom. By placing your bath or shower in the center of the room, you can make this act as your core and plan the rest of your bathroom around this. Adding a unique and different feature to any bathroom, this is a great option and assuming the plumbing isn’t too tricky to reconfigure, it shouldn’t cost you too much to do. 

Dramatic Accents:

By adding spotlights in the ceiling, this will give you a mellow and subtle light that will emphasize the features in your room. Pepper your bath with a set of Egyptian cotton towels and add them to the corner of your bath. Although for decorative purposes, this adds a showroom look to your bathroom and when accompanied with a simple trio of candles on the windowsill, you can truly recreate the spa sensation within your luxury bathroom without spending lakhs of rupees on slate floors and marble work surfaces. 

Opting to choose a black or white stone tile or even varnished wood floor will give you the same effect but at a fraction of the price. To finish, paint the walls with a light and neutral colour as this will keep the bathroom light and not draw any attention away from your bathroom features.
