Elegant engineering, unique design and enduring luxury: Torsion, a new twist in luxury showers

Dubai, UAE - August 6th, 2012 - The elegant new Torsion shower collection by Kohler - a global leader in bathroom design - has won a prestigious 2012 red dot Design award, testament to the quality of Kohler recognised worldwide. The red dot Design Awards, created in 1955, reward innovations in product design, design concept and communication.  

This year, 1,800 companies and designers from 58 countries registered to the "red dot award: product design" for a chance to prove their design ability in an international comparison with renowned designers and up-and-coming talents. Within the competition's 19 different categories, a total of 4,515 registrations were submitted, but only the best were awarded.

Delighted by the award, Mohamed Nada, Regional Marketing Manager for Kohler Co. in the Middle East says: "No detail was left unexamined in the engineering, design and manufacturing of the graceful Torsion. The result is a fusion of art and engineering that is as beautiful as it is durable. A dramatic aluminium and glass construction, coupled with the clean safety glass 8 mm thick and fluid lines of the design bring unmatched elegance to any bathroom."

Inspired by the way modern architecture flows through space, the Torsion shower doors fuse functionality with structural integrity and flawless design. The boldly curved handle that can be mounted vertically or horizontally inspires the collection's refined styling. Sophisticated door mechanisms are hidden within Torsion's minimal framing, which gives a considered, uncluttered aesthetic and facilitates easy cleaning.

Three door opening options are available - Hinged, in-swing or sliding - and adapt to all shower spaces. Hinged shower doors open outwards pivoting at the corner. The hinges are bonded on making the surface completely flush, easy to clean, without any screws or bolts. Sliding shower doors are made for large spaces and combine effortless movement with an ultra-quiet closing action.

The innovative Torsion is perfect for tight spaces. The door swings neatly inwards along a concealed track for a clean, sleek look.  All doors can be combined with a fixed side panel for corner installation.

Optional accessories come with the shower doors, including a shower seat and shelf in Solid surface (natural stone resin). This high-end material is smooth and warm to the touch and offers a modern look to all bathrooms, adding originality and comfort.
