EdenWave technology offers virtually noise-free deep relaxation and
tranquil water massage with its unique wave sensation
Ideal Standard International, the leading bathroom solutions
provider, today unveiled EdenWave, the world’s first water wave
vibration technology for home wellness systems, under its luxury
brand Jado.
The new art of tranquillity in bath technology
A world-first in water vibration technology, EdenWave takes the art
of relaxation to new heights. Ideal Standard International’s aim was
to create the most pampering home-spa experience possible, to clear
the mind and soothe the body like never before. Thanks to W.A.V.E.
technology, EdenWave catapults spa baths into the next generation.
Instead of air jets of the average whirlpool, vibrant waves are
created through the micro-agitation of water molecules, lifting the
body for a soft, cushion-like effect. Aside from feeling heavenly on
the body, perhaps the most exciting aspect of EdenWave is its
unprecedented quietness. As opposed to traditional whirlpool
systems, the sound level is extraordinarily low - below 45 decibels,
which is comparable to a human whisper.
EdenWave’s external bath structure is independent from the inner
vibrating shell, preventing the transmission of any movement or
noise throughout the rest of the bathroom. Furthermore, the soft
design and ambient light enhance a calm, cocooning sensation. A
supple headrest and ergonomic internal shell shape are all designed
to transport the bather to a new realm of tranquillity. EdenWave is
simple to install, has no special maintenance requirements and
functions on a low power engine for greater efficiency. With no jets
or pumps, cleaning is eliminated and hygiene heightened.
Consumer testing has revealed excellent results for EdenWave. 79%
found the experience relaxing, and the general response to the
bathtub’s ergonomic shape and the ability to select different
vibration programs has been very positive.
“We wanted to create a unique pampering, spa-like experience at home
through peaceful and relaxing water massage. EdenWave is the perfect
solution for consumers looking to create a wellness space in their
home where they can indulge, relax and escape the pressures of
everyday life,” explains David Hamill, Chairman Ideal Standard
International.
Personalised peaceful relaxation
EdenWave’s technology is operated by a user-friendly electronic
control system which offers three pre-set programs and one
customisable program for a completely personalised massage.
Depending on their mood of the day, consumers can choose a warm-up
program, offering a calm and soft water massage for peaceful
relaxation; a deep relaxation program which provides a
cocooning-type water massage; and a daily relaxation program,
lasting 15 minutes for a faster, yet effective, relaxing treatment
to wash away the stress of the day. The customised massage is
possible by choosing the “progressive vibrating intensity” function.
Micro-agitations will then start at the lowest setting and increase
every 15 seconds so that users can select the intensity that best
suits their mood at that time of the day or that stage in their
life.
In line with Ideal Standard International’s continuous search for
more energy-efficient and water saving bathroom solutions, EdenWave
also reduces energy consumption by functioning on a low power
engine, which uses 250 watts instead of the typical 1000/1500 watts
for an average whirlpool system.
The concept bathtub creation shown at ISH is signed Ronen Joseph, a
renowned designer with a strong track record in innovative bathroom
design and also the creator of Ideal Standard International’s booth
at the fair this year. “EdenWave has a soft design and uses ambient
light to create a true feeling of cocooning. The supple headrest and
the internal shape of the shell have been designed with ergonomics
and relaxation in mind. EdenWave takes whirlpools to a whole new
level,” said Ronen Joseph.
This unique innovation is showcased as a prototype at ISH 2011 and
will be introduced in Italy first during Q4 2011.
