GROHE and Buster + Punch discuss design vision at Clerkenwell Design Week

Taking to the stage at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026, global bathroom brand GROHE was joined in conversation by premium fittings brand Buster + Punch, to discuss their collaboration, which is based on a shared design vision.

Paul Flowers, chief design & brand identity officer & executive VP, LIXIL was joined by Massimo Buster Minale, founder of Buster + Punch, and Joanna Knight, MD of JK Interiors, to discuss the importance of a cohesive design vision across bathroom fixtures and fittings. The panel conversation highlighted the important role that functional fittings play and explored how their collaboration is the solution to a common industry pain point.

GROHE and Buster + Punch first unveiled their collaborative collection at the World Architecture Festival in Miami, November 2025. The collaboration includes different collections in 4 of GROHE SPA’s timeless finishes mirrored across Buster + Punch’s iconic cabinet and door hardware, lighting, sockets and switches. Envisioned as a 'creative’s toolkit', the collection aims to empower architects and designers to craft harmonious interiors with coherence in fit, feel, and finish.

Paul Flowers said: “Globally, LIXIL produces products that are being used by over 1 billion people per day. With this incredible audience and responsibility, we’ve been pushed to be more consumer facing and cater to the demands of the industry. For architects, designers, and specifiers, who want to deliver a unified, premium space, we cater to that need and remove the pain point of having to specify multiple manufacturers. Quality, craft, and cohesive design is a true luxury and we’re proud to be providing a solution.”
