iSteam Touch Steam Shower Control Panel Selected for 2014 ADEX Award

Mr.Steam receives ADEX Platinum Award The iSteam Swipe-Touch Steam Shower Control Panel by Mr.Steam has been selected for a 2014 Platinum Design Journal ADEX Award for Design Excellence.

Although not the first ADEX award, nor the first Platinum ADEX award, Mr.Steam has received, it is the first for the iSteam!

ADEX "stands for Awards for Design Excellence and is the largest and most prestigious awards program for product & project design in the A&D industry." It is sponsored by DesignJournalMag.com an online resource for designers and architects and "the international trade publication for interior designers, architects and facility managers since 1988."

What makes the iSteam Touch Panel a 2014 Platinum ADEX Product?

The iSteam touch control panel is the essence of cutting edge technology for the steam shower. The iSteam’s high performing LCD touch screen functions beautifully in wet conditions. A simple swipe of this sleek, sexy and intuitive screen gives a bather control of lighting, aromatherapy and music during a steam shower.

Along with stunning graphics, the display includes a real-time clock and the ability to dim the screen during the steam experience. Four in-shower speakers add a swirl of music, letting you tune in via Bluetooth.

Mike Pinkus, president and CEO of Mr. Steam, was instrumental in designing the control, in partnership with world-renowned Industrial designer David Farrage. Farrage’s experience with such designs as Movado™ and Lamborghini™ is evident in iSteam’s contemporary styling.
