hansgrohe Aquno Select - Wellness for Fruit and Vegetables

The Aquno integrated system — named after “aqua” and “unit”— makes it possible to experience a totally new kind of interaction with water in the kitchen; and thanks to its smart integrated concept, it features spray modes and functions suitable for any task at hand. For the first time ever, the laminar and shower spray modes in the pull-down spray are complemented by a third, flat and particularly gentle spray mode, which flows from the integrated base unit. The SatinFlow spray mode consists of many individual jets that form a soft and yet dense laminar flow. This means that food is cleaned much more gently, but also extremely effectively. With the multifunctional strainer included in the package, which fits exactly under the jet, the system ensures a simple and efficient workflow at the sink.

hansgrohe FinishPlus - Design Freedom for Bathroom and Personality

The new surface designs hansgrohe FinishPlus make it possible to live out the sense of style in every respect and to create a bathroom or kitchen ambience that meets different and individual requirements. With this range of high-quality surface finishes for fittings, hansgrohe offers a wide variety of design options.

The exquisite metallic colors skillfully combine elegance and modernity and create attractive contrasts when combined with both dark and light bathroom furnishings. With the current matt trend colors Matt White and Matt Black, lovers of modern architecture and deliberate contrasts get their money's worth. Their elegant simplicity makes them the icing on the cake in any modern bathroom.
