The VP of Design at GROHE, Michael Seum is responsible for insight-driven design that captures the imagination of GROHE’s global consumer base, on the launch of the product he answered a few questions on what the team was trying to achieve with the Atrio relaunch:
On the overarching idea behind the redesign of Atrio and what details he is most proud of:
The idea behind new Atrio is design permanence – the design is going to last a long time, it’s iconic. This is not about risk-taking design, but more about really paying attention to details and being obsessive about proportions. I don’t take the approach of a redesign being any different to designing from scratch. When we started the design process, we tried to set out to do an iconic style. For me, the definition of iconic is when it can be drawn from memory.
