BRAVISSIMO! OPERA AND THE ART OF BATH

Guiding the design of all GRAFF collections, the Art of Bath philosophy celebrates emotion, precision, attention to detail, and beauty, echoing the qualities of many forms of art, especially opera. Like the Art of Bath philosophy, opera’s appeal is timeless. For example, although the legendary Greek soprano, Maria Callas passed away 47 years ago, she has once again taken the spotlight in the film “Maria,” starring Angelina Jolie as Callas, to great acclaim. Like opera, GRAFF’s Art of Bath takes cues from a deep understanding of the importance of quality and style that last, led by design that is both timeless and innovative.
The bath and shower grant an environment of freedom, permission for self-expression and relaxation. In the 2019 documentary “Pavarotti,” even the world-renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti gives a powerful, passionate performance of the ‘La donna è mobile’ canzone from Verdi’s Rigoletto while showering.

Fortunately, since most people don’t possess the talent of a Pavarotti or Callas, the acoustics of a shower can enhance vocal richness, or at least confidence in singing while showering. Similarly, a beautifully designed shower, supported with advanced technology, use of the finest quality materials, and precision engineering can boost feelings of calm and confidence. It’s no wonder that so many people enjoy singing in the privacy of the shower, and feel comfortable doing so, especially in GRAFF showers.
GRAFF’s connection to opera is profound. The celebrated and accomplished soprano Brygida Bziukiewicz-Kulig, wife of GRAFF president and CEO Ziggy Kulig, is co-founder and general director of La Musica Lirica, an intensive five-week opera training program, led by world-class faculty in Novafeltria, Italy.

Passion for opera is realized in GRAFF’s award-winning designs. Like opera’s rich pageantry, GRAFF’s Ametis shower ring creates an immersive, multi-sensory experience, offering music therapy, and chromotherapy that mesmerizes with LED lights in six colors. Naturally, the Ametis shower ring features a third enhancement to thrill or relax body and soul— hydrotherapy with exquisite spa-like options. Like Ametis, GRAFF’s Aqua-Sense shower also offers music therapy, hydrotherapy, and chromotherapy.
GRAFF’s Riva shower encourages an environment of freedom, joy, and self-expression. With meticulously crafted details and controls inspired by the dashboards of luxury cars and yachts, a Riva shower can prompt visions of singing opera in a fine sports car while driving along a spectacular Mediterranean coastline.

GRAFF’s bath collections express the glamour and emotions of opera, whether in the evocative swirls of the Ametis Collection or the dazzling intricate knurling of the Cameo and Incanto Arté Collections.
And GRAFF’s handcrafted finishes, including precious metal choices such as 24K Polished Gold and Polished Nickel, and full suites of matching bath accessories set the stage for memorable performances in sumptuous settings.
