Megius Shower Enclosure

The Salone del Mobile event is where some of the best furniture pieces in the world are introduced. This major furniture fair is held in Milan annually, and it is where furniture and home fixture makers from all over the globe come to showcase their stuff. Such a trade fair is important because it is where the creators and movers in the home and interior design industries share new products and services, technologies, innovations, and even trends that can change the way we live and work each day.

Over at Salone, we have seen what Megius has to offer, and we can say its numerous products can change your bathing and showering experience. You see, your daily cleansing rituals need not be complicated, but it also doesn’t have to be very simple. You can decide to create the perfect bath experience because baths are great for your health and wellness. The Megius group is a formidable brand in this field as it knows more than just taste and style in the shower space. The company offers innovative solutions that can help people take better baths and showers, and the latest systems were shown off this week in Milan.

Megius’ interpretation of the shower space varies depending on cultures, traditions, and technologies. The brand has intelligently considered the changes in style, taste, and needs of the people throughout the years. It will continue to interpret the changes in the world and anticipate what needs to be improved, especially in the shower game.

The name ‘Megius’ alone tells us what shower is also about— “A Thousand Thrilling Drops In One Space.” This presents to us the brand’s primary goal—to deliver shower solutions that are unique and accessible. The idea of thrilling drops in a space is a vital force in how the shower solutions are designed and presented. The Italian brand is now known for premium bathroom furnishings, and it has recently introduced the latest designs and innovations that can be beneficial to one’s wellness, relaxation, and pleasure.

Megius has identified the indissoluble relationship between these important elements: heat, water, style, design, services, and functionality. With the habits and changes in modern society, it is crucial the company responds to them with each product able to evoke different feelings through different finishes and materials. As a result, we’re seeing new shower enclosures and sauna systems that deliver designs and solutions that are pure and beautifully simple.

Three new significant products from Megius can help create style in any home and elegance in any bathroom: the Prisma 2.0, Exen Sauna, and Zen. Each of these series uses different materials—glass, steel, wood, and aluminum—that when combined, are truly beautiful, stunning, and timeless. These products are also given chic finishes and colors like Black, Copper, Bronze, and Rose Gold–to complete the sophisticated appeal.

Let’s start with the Megius Prisma 2.0 series, which is a new shower enclosure that is actually a reinterpretation of the classic. From a basic shower enclosure, it becomes a shower cabinet that looks minimalist yet functional in every way. The Prisma 2.0 series’ aesthetics are elegantly simple as every element harmonizes with one another to build a whole system that works.

The Prisma 2.0 is an ingenious solution with a combination of the features, including a 6 or 8mm thick glass, glass handles, a 6mm thick glass support shelf, and specially designed hinges that can connect two panes of glass. The clean look and harmony the different materials bring make this shower enclosure from Megius more than just a bathroom decoration. It can now be considered a fundamental structure that can amplify the senses and is engineered to answer your needs.

The Megius Exen Sauna is a nice blend of wood and glass elements, resulting in an innovative design and a more refined product. This one doesn’t come with a handle, as the sliding door is a preferred solution since it allows the natural exchange of air in such a small space. The Exen Sauna is designed mainly for indoors as a unique shower enclosure system with a reduced profile. The glass and wood combination brings a level of coziness and comfort to an otherwise mundane task such as showering.

Most sliding solutions come with an average 40mm sliding profile, but the Megius Zen is only 17 mm high, resulting in a greater useful entry height. You don’t usually get it in standard enclosures, but the Zen series delivers a better response to minimalist users’ needs. And thanks to the minimalist profile, the Zen actually presents an intense emotional appeal, whether the hinged or sliding version. It is proof that “less is more” because this enclosure is more effective, efficient, and enjoyable even with a reduced profile.

Artemide Integralis light platform allows a safer, well-illuminated, and sanitized area

Artemide Integralis

Light design must be effective if we want it to make a lasting impact, however, achieving such an ultimate effect can be a great challenge. With all the choices and technologies available, lighting can be difficult to build as part of interior design. Interestingly, like most categories in the design world, lighting can be enhanced to reach a point where lights not only provide an excellent play with our perceptions but also where they can help a person’s circadian rhythm and health.

We can go beyond the aesthetics of lighting and just focus on science, and that is where Artemide comes in with the Artemide Integralis. Over at the Salone del Mobile 2022 event in Milan, the Integralis is currently being showcased as a universal light so people can stay safe together. It seems the theme of staying safe and sanitized is still not used up. The pandemic isn’t over, so people are still encouraged to keep safe, clean, and sound.

Designer: Artemide

The Artemide Integralis universal light brings together luminous performance and sanitizing efficacy. Furthermore, the beautiful design allows itself to be integrated into environments and situations where needs are interpreted differently. The people behind Integralis based their work on a social and humanistic vision and the company’s scientific and technological research. As a result, the technology is more of a light platform that is sustainable and innovative that helps in ensuring responsible use of the environment.

The idea of the Integralis is that it can act against any pathogenic microorganisms by simply illuminating them. The Artemide Integralis offers selected frequencies of visible light that can inhibit the growth and development of bacteria, mold, or fungi. The act is straightforward and is expected to work the way most disinfecting UV lights work.

Such frequencies can also act on viruses, so the effect is a clean surface and environment all the time. But unlike the standard UV lights available, the Integralis is safer for humans and materials within a space. So this lighting solution definitely can help people to live a safer life with more protected health in the days to come.

What makes this more compelling is that this technology works on the concept of “dose,” adapting the antimicrobial action’s intensity depending on the absence and presence of people in the surrounding. This also works on the idea of “time” as the light is activated or deactivated by the presence of sensors. Integralis’ intensity is more significant when there are no people, so this means sanitization and safety are guaranteed. During the day, it can still do its job but with a minimum antimicrobial dose only. The maximum antimicrobial dose is activated at night or during people’s absence.

Quality light plus antimicrobial properties seem like a dream. And good news, several light models are available now for the general consumers, with each one offering different looks. In addition, Artemide has integrated the Integralis into some of its current collections already available. These are some of the Integralis models worth checking out: the NUR, DISCOVERY, Tolomeo Table Lamp, and the Tagora Ceiling 570.

The concept is to help improve human safety and environmental quality in different application contexts; thus, the technology is integrated into the current lighting solutions from the brand. In addition, this Artemide Integralis can be managed via the Artemide app as a digital interaction system accessible by everyone. The technology is still patent-pending, but we can expect it to be approved soon.

Electrolux GRO kitchen concept offers a fresh take on sustainable eating

Posted on by

It’s no longer enough to just eat healthy. One also needs to make sure our healthy eating is also healthy for the planet.

There has been a great deal of interest and attention given to diets in the past years, especially as people were forced to fend for themselves at home. Diet fads come and go, but the ingredients we use have mostly remained the same, and the demand for meat-based products has only gone higher, not lower. Our food system isn’t just broken, but so is our mindset and expectations of an unlimited supply of materials to feed the planet at the expense of the planet itself. That definitely has to change, and a holistic kitchen system imagines how tomorrow’s diets won’t only be plant-forward but also planet-friendly.

Designer: Electrolux

Eating healthier has almost become an obsession of many people these days, evidenced by the number of new diet styles and trends that pop up every year. But while people have become generally conscious of the food they eat, they often turn a blind eye to the long-term effects of our food supply systems on the Earth’s ecosystem. Feeding the planet doesn’t have to come at the expense of the planet itself, nor do plant-forward diets have to be the same old stuff you see on the Internet and YouTube.

GRO, from the Swedish word for “to sprout,” reimagines and reinvents a kitchen designed for sustainable eating. While that largely revolves around transitioning to a more plant-forward diet, it also acknowledges the fact that meat will still be a part of people’s lives. Instead, GRO provides solutions to nudge people to become smarter about their food choices, like a “jewelry box” storage that encourages eating less but better quality meat.

GRO includes a modular compartment system that you can combine like LEGO bricks, depending on your dietary needs and kitchen space. Each compartment is designed not only to preserve ingredients but also to showcase their diversity and beauty. A Plant Gallery, for example, provides optimal conditions for storing fruits and vegetables while also letting you enjoy their fresh appearance behind textured glass.

The system also defies stereotypes of plant-forward diets as bland or unexciting, especially to taste buds. In fact, GRO encourages exploration and experimentation, like the Grain and Pulse Library, which lets you try out alternative sources of protein from grains and pulses. Included in the collection is the Nordic Smoker, which lets homeowners smoke their food indoors and infuse new flavors into their recipes. And if all those starts to sound a bit overwhelming, the GRO Coach digital food companion will help you make the right sustainable choices based on your habits and needs.

GRO is part of Electrolux’s Better Living Initiative to promote better eating and better living inside more sustainable homes. The company sent out a survey last year aimed at young people between 15 and 20 to share their thoughts on the future of sustainable living. They are, after all, the biggest stakeholders in the planet’s future, and Electrolux’s kitchen concept wants to make sure that there will still be such a future that will be able to sustain life on the planet for generations to come.
