It was easy to appreciate the craftsmanship invested in each piece without comprehending the manufacturing process. The bespoke and minimalist design aesthetic accentuated the deliberate curves, dimensions, and precision of each component, thereby enhancing the functionality of the hardware. The curated collection was cohesive and intuitive for any designer to incorporate into their work without being overwhelmed by excessive choices. The debut includes three of GROHE SPA’s finishes—Brushed Warm Sunset, Brushed Cool Sunrise, and Matte Black—mirrored across Buster + Punch’s iconic cabinet and door hardware, lighting, sockets, and switches. “To elevate your look in spas, wet rooms, and bathrooms, it’s essential to combine detailing, brassware, and lighting in one seamless finish. This is one of the key reasons why this collaboration came about and is so powerful – the collection has everything a designer or architect needs to level up these spaces effortlessly,” explains Massimo Buster Minale, founder and creative director, Buster + Punch. “This collaboration is born from a shared obsession with color, material, and finish – every surface, every detail considered to elevate bathrooms and redefine expressive interiors. Recognizing that designers and architects often struggle to create perfectly coordinated interiors across different brands, we combined Buster + Punch’s bold craftsmanship with GROHE SPA’s expertise in water and experiential luxury to offer a fully integrated suite of products where every element aligns, with nothing left to compromise. The result is a space that invites emotional interaction and turns bathrooms into immersive experiences,” adds Paul Flowers, Leader, LIXIL Global Design & Brand Identity, Chief Design and Brand Officer & Executive Vice President.
GROHE SPA × Buster + Punch enables the creation of transformative bathrooms that transcend mere functionality. Spaces become sanctuaries for self-expression through water, light, and touch, creating a modern and luxurious environment.
