Euphoria 260 enhances any shower experience by personalising the shower to your personal mood and need.

The showerhead has three zones you can choose from. With just the turn of a knob you control the spray: from a powerful jet spray for rinsing out shampoo to a rain spray that relaxes you after a long day at work. This generously proportioned showerhead enables a personalized shower experience adapted for everyday.

The fluid and organic aesthetic allied to a humanized and user-focused design, gives Euphoria 260 a smooth and discreet elegance. The sprayface includes details that clear communicate three distinct zones through a set of smooth but precise wave shapes and visually guides the user to the center of the sparyface where the smart control knob is positioned. The smart control knob borns from the centre of the sprayface in a smooth and ergonomic water drop shape, providing an accurate usability given by the precise knurling detail.

The unique combination between the SmartControl knob and the special shape of the sprayface gives an immediate and intuitive understanding of the product basic functions and how to control it. The embossed waves on the sprayface represent and delimit the different zones and the knurling detail in the knob unequivocally indicates the action of turning to choose the desired spray zone.

The unique design of this shower is based on concentric circular shapes and by the quantity and precision of all details. Semantically these shapes are a representation of a waterdrop effect on a water surface – stronger in the center and fading over through the rest of the surface.
