The GROHE Kitchen Colors accentuate and add color to any kitchen. Thanks to the innovative PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) manufacturing process, GROHE brings color accents to the kitchen with selected faucets and sinks.

GROHE’s SmartControl technology now finds its way into the kitchen. The innovative SmartControl Kitchen allows for precise control through an intuitive push and turn button for highest accuracy, straightforward convenience, and ultimate flexibility.

The new GROHE Blue professional for office kitchens offers employees in small or medium-sized companies chilled water via a touch panel, directly from the faucet. Thanks to the convenient and hygienic operation, users can quickly access water that has been cooled to temperatures of six to ten degrees Celsius in variations of still, medium, and sparking.
