Originally intended as an alternative to the ISH fair – which annually took place in Frankfurt but has been cancelled due to COVID-19, Grohe X is a trade-fair substitute, aiming to bring the world closer together through an engaging platform to exchange ideas and gain support from the brand’s experts. The brand has positioned its latest digital endeavor as a “new place to meet”.
