Unleashing the Power of Water: The Cascade Collection

Corona Design Team and Gro Design Studio's Innovative Faucet and Accessories Range

The Cascade Collection draws its inspiration from the strength and power of cascading water. In this collection, water is not merely a moldable element but an instrument of transformation. The designers have harnessed this energy to create a series of products that elevate the aesthetic and functional standards of the market.

Historically, plastic has been associated with cheap and low-quality products in the Latin American market. The Cascade Collection challenges this perception by offering a range of lead-free products with a robust and solid appearance. The faucets and accessories are designed from a modular set-up principle, with every product sharing the same base, thus enhancing their aesthetic appeal.

The collection is manufactured using injection molding technology, with ABS used for the cases and POM for the internal chassis containing functional parts. The faucets are assembled in Colombia with automated machines and highly skilled personnel. All faucets in the range comply with international standards, making them especially valuable in terms of water saving.

The Cascade Collection includes 8 inches and single lever faucets for the kitchen and bathroom. The handle design makes the faucet operation intuitive, and the carefully placed aerator prevents splashing at high flow rates, making the products both user-friendly and eco-friendly.

The design process began in June 2015 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and concluded in July 2018 in Bogota, Colombia. The collection will be introduced into the market in 2019. The project involved extensive research, including an ethnographic study of Latin American families and detailed engineering for the chromed cases. The designers overcame several challenges, such as enhancing the quality perception of plastic products and designing accurate cases for the injection molding technology.

The Cascade Collection was awarded the Golden A' Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that advance art, science, design, and technology. The Cascade Collection embodies these qualities, offering a high-quality, affordable, and innovative solution for Latin American families.
