Adjustable to fit surfaces up to 34" high, this undercounter refrigerator features LED lighting, pullout glass shelves, and telescoping drawers that self-retract slowly and quietly. Stainless-steel railings and partitions allow users to customize storage, while the dooron- door technology allows cabinetry panels to be affixed with ease.

Ignis
Choice is the operative word with this dimmable handmade pendant, which is offered with LED or traditional E26 base lamping and in a variety of wood frames, finish options, and shade sizes (walnut with 24" distressed-brass shade, shown). The fixture’s 96" field-adjustable cord also makes Ignis suitable for sloped ceilings.

SO613 Shower Head
This flush-mounted fixture adds chromotherapy to the showering experience, running a choice of custom or preset color programs designed to relax or energize.

One-Piece with Stealth Technology
This ultra-high-efficiency toilet uses just 0.8 gallons per flush—the least water of any single-flush toilet on the market. The flapper-less design reduces leakage, while the patented hydraulic technology minimizes operational noise.

Aquatunes
Immune to the effects of flowing water and steam, this Bluetooth speaker may be mounted inside a shower or set atop a counter. The unit, a marriage between Philips’ audio engineering and Grohe’s fittings expertise, streams eight hours of music from a smartphone or tablet located up to 25' away. Comes with a water-resistant charging base.
