Avalegra and Raindance Alive Impress iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 Expert Jury

Double Gold Triumph for hansgrohe Innovations

Once again this year, the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD has recognised groundbreaking design achievements with particular relevance to society and everyday life. An international panel of experts evaluated almost 11,000 submissions from around 66 nations. The hansgrohe brand impressed with two innovative bathroom solutions and was honoured with the coveted iF DESIGN AWARD ‘Gold’ labels.

hansgrohe Avalegra: Elegant Reinterpretation of Handwashing

hansgrohe Avalegra impressed the jury as “a good example of how to introduce a new usage scenario in the bathroom.” The experts praised the elegantly curved mixer tap, which creates an original yet reassuringly familiar design concept in harmonious unity with the gently sloping washbasin. The innovative face spray function was particularly highlighted: It “creates a delightfully cleansing water fountain and makes the awkward splashing of hands unnecessary.” The jury is convinced that this forward-thinking design “will likely inspire imitation.”

hansgrohe Raindance Alive: Sensual Shower Experience Reimagined

With Raindance Alive, hansgrohe set another design milestone. The jury characterized the product as “an innovative interpretation of the shower surface.” The centrepiece is the one-piece front panel with a sophisticated nozzle structure that revolutionises the geometry of water flow. Their concluding verdict sums it up perfectly: “The name says it all – it’s a joyful experience.”

With two out of three iF DESIGN AWARDs GOLD awarded in the sanitary sector, hansgrohe underscores its design excellence and innovative power in the industry. Since 2015, Hansgrohe SE with its brands AXOR and hansgrohe has been leading the “Gold Ranking” with a total of 8 Gold awards. The awards confirm the brand’s consistent approach to setting new standards for the daily water experience through extraordinary design.
