The kitchen and bathroom fittings manufacture Dornbracht will present their Ambiance Tuning Technique, a new technology that allows water to be used to create unique scenarios, at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2010.

A symbiosis of water experience, aesthetic architecture, minimalist design, convenient operation and innovative control technology, Ambiance Tuning Technique completely redefines the shower experience. The new technology was developed as part of the “Transforming Water” concept.

“Transforming Water marks the next step on the way to the realization of the Dornbracht brand promise “The Spirit of Water: from the water source to the experience of it,” said CEO Andreas Dornbracht.

“With the Ambiance Tuning Technique, a variety of jets can be combined in pre-programmed choreographical scenarios of water temperature and volume that enhance individual bath rituals.”

Three scenarios
The three scenarios, Balancing, Energizing and De-Stressing, stimulate the three human dimensions of body, mind and soul.

Each of the scenarios works so individually with the power and soul of water via the JustRain, WaterSheet and WaterBar outlets that every user can influence their own mood.

Regularly used, the scenarios become personal rituals and lend a new quality to the showering experience.

The central components of the Ambiance Tuning Technique are the eTool, eValve and eSwitch. Integrated in an open system, they make up the essential technical componants that allow a user to enjoy an enriching and intensifying experience of water.

eTool: the perfect link between aesthetic design and convenient individual operation
Thanks to its minimalistic design, the eTool can be integrated perfectly into every high-quality bathroom architecture and at the same time provides top operating convenience: all important functions can be activated by pressing the corresponding buttons just once.

The user has two options to experience water: on the one hand, due to the individual control of the outlets and their various jets; and on the other hand by activating the Balancing, Energizing and De-Stressing scenarios specially developed by Dornbracht.

In control
The outlets are individually controlled using the corresponding button, while temperature and volume regulation can be adjusted by simply turning the knob. An aura of light around the buttons provides the user with intuitive feedback about the current settings.

As on the buttons, an aura of light on the knob also displays which setting is currently active: red-blue aura – temperature control active; white aura – volume control active.

Individual program
The three pre-programmed scenarios are activated by keeping the respective button pressed down for two seconds: the water choreographies then begin automatically. Within the scenarios, the temperature and volume settings of the outlets alternate.

This is made possible by the electronic eValve that is installed directly behind every outlet. The eSwitch controls electricity supply and communication between the eValve and the eTool control panel.

The integrated service port in the eSwitch enables configuration and diagnosis of the system.

The products are designed by Sieger Design. Ambiance Tuning Technique is available from September 2010.
