  • The challenge was to create a digital system that blended with the interior and significantly reduced the complexity of custom shower installation and operation, while also providing a more luxurious experience. The team designed a system that consolidated controls to reduce clutter, and devised logic that performs complex tasks with minimal user input.

  • The Anthem Digital Shower offers precise control over water temperature and volume, along with scripted hydrotherapies tailored to specific needs like energy management, muscle recovery, or even sinus relief. Its intuitive controls, universal design, and seamless integration set a new standard for luxury showering experiences. Designed for ease of use, Anthem features universal iconography, haptic feedback, and multi-language options to ensure approachability. Optional remote start buttons add convenience, allowing users to warm sprays before entering the shower. Water flow pauses when a preset temperature is reached, conserving water until the user is ready to enter.

  • Anthem pushes the boundaries of custom showering with world-first features that revolutionize the industry from specification/planning to everyday experience. Its clean, uncompromised aesthetic and intuitive controls reduce clutter and complexity. Sustainable features like remote warm-up, water monitoring, and scripted hydrotherapies help users manage and optimize their water usage.

  • The shower’s advanced outlet control allows independent access to each component, accommodating up to six outlets, two temperature zones, steam, lighting and music in a single control. The optional remote start button adds convenience and sustainable warm-up, while scripted hydrotherapies enhance every shower experience. Users can even set up a second UI within the showering space for additional convenience, whether they’re standing (shower) or lounging (steam).
