SMART WELL-BEING

2019-05-03

How do we create high density with the greatest quality of life? We need places of relaxation more urgently than ever, not only in hotels. Intelligent solutions and a smart use of technology can provide the necessary relaxation for guests, especially in the bathroom.

JUST A BATH?
At first glance, it may seem to be just a conventional product. Yet, if we take a closer look at the bathtub, the intelligent use of technology for our well-being becomes apparent. But where does our desire for relaxation come from? The answer lies in our need to recharge our batteries in order to maintain our physical performance. Scientists have long been researching the positive influence of relaxation baths on our bodies and souls. This gives the bathtub extraordinary significance for humans’ personal well-being.

RELAX MORE EASILY
Many people’s everyday life today involves many causes for stress, which, beyond a feeling of discomfort, can lead to illnesses such as high blood pressure. In a study conducted at the University of Florence, scientists found that warm baths demonstrably reduce these risks after only four weeks of regular relaxation baths for subjects between 45 and 70 years of age. Further studies even came to the conclusion that this positive effect can be significantly increased by classical music. Research by Berlin scientists confirmed this hypothesis back in 2013.

LIQUID SOUND
Bathing in music – according to scientific findings, this feeling has been proven to increase the positive effect of a relaxing bath. This is why Villeroy & Boch offers the comfort of ViSound for its Quaryl and acrylic tubs. The bathtub is transformed into a sounding body without the use of visible loudspeakers by means of structure-borne sound converters. Irrespective of how much water is in the bathtub, the outstanding sound quality of your favourite music ensures pleasant relaxation. Dynamically changing lighting colours in the bathroom increase this effect even further through the calming effect of colour on people.

COLOUR ON DEMAND
Villeroy&Boch offers over 200 colours ex works for acrylic or Quaryl© bathtubs. This allows you to plan harmonious colour combinations for your very own personal wellness oasis. In addition to the single-colour solution, the experts also offer two-colour bathtubs in the BiColor version to create a feeling of well-being in the bathroom. Free-standing bathtubs, in particular, thus invite the eye to take a soothing relaxation bath thanks to their special appearance.
