High Q+ is an innovative range created by German
designers NOA for VitrA, which combines functionality,
technology and modern design. The High Q+ basin uses
lighting effects to flood the bathroom in colour, creating the
perfect mood enhancer. Tones of blue help consumers to
relax while vibrant yellow makes the ideal early-morning
pick-me up.
When the basin is in use, the LEDs (which are
fitted below a glass basin), change colour according
to the temperature of the water; blue for
cold, red for hot. The control and
heat of the water is operated by a
movement sensor, meaning its
touch-free technology offers
hygiene benefits.
