New Delhi, Mar 9: GROHE, a leading global brand for complete bathroom solutions and kitchen fittings, has announced the launch of the Essence Crafted Lever, the newest evolution of its award-winning GROHE Essence Collection. The new range introduces a refined lever design available in three distinctive finishes—Crafted Chrome, Brushed Warm Sunset and Brushed Cool Sunrise—bringing a tactile dimension to contemporary bathroom aesthetics while maintaining the sensual-minimalist design language that defines the Essence collection.

As modern Indian bathrooms evolve from purely functional spaces into curated personal sanctuaries, design trends are increasingly favouring layered textures, sculptural forms and refined contrasts. Architects and homeowners are blending smooth and textured surfaces alongside brushed and polished finishes to create spaces that reflect individuality and depth.
For more than two decades, the GROHE Essence collection has represented understated elegance through balanced proportions and smooth transitions. The Essence Crafted Lever builds on this legacy with a distinctive micro-pattern texture, introducing a subtle yet striking tactile and visual contrast. Inspired by traditional craftsmanship and engineered with modern precision, the lever transforms a functional element into a design signature that enhances both aesthetic appeal and user experience.
Speaking on the launch, Priya Rustogi, Leader (Managing Director), India, LIXIL IMEA, said,
“Indian consumers today are increasingly seeking bathrooms that reflect individuality and thoughtful design. The Essence Crafted Lever responds to this aspiration by introducing texture as a refined design element. It blends craftsmanship with engineering precision, allowing architects and homeowners to create cohesive, expressive spaces without compromising on performance. With this launch, we continue to strengthen GROHE’s presence in the affordable luxury segment in India while expanding customization possibilities for modern bathrooms.”
The Essence Crafted Lever is available in three durable finishes—Crafted Chrome, Crafted Brushed Cool Sunrise and Crafted Brushed Warm Sunset—and across multiple sizes and key draw-off points. Designed to pair seamlessly with GROHE Essence ceramics and vessels, it enables a harmonised and design-forward look throughout the bathroom.
Beyond aesthetics, the range also delivers advanced functionality powered by GROHE SilkMove technology, which ensures smooth and precise control of water flow and temperature. The high-performance cartridge guarantees long-lasting reliability while maintaining effortless operation.
With the introduction of the Essence Crafted Lever in India, GROHE continues to elevate the bathroom into a space of intentional design—where every detail, both seen and felt, contributes to a refined and cohesive living experience.
