People who can’t step over a bathtub don’t just need grab bars — they need a shower that wraps them in warmth like soaking in a hot bath.
LIXIL, the world’s largest sanitary ware company, created the “Body Hug Shower” — a 10-nozzle shower that envelops the body in warm water. Co-designed with wheelchair users from the start, it’s already in use at care facilities.
LIXIL has been in business for 77 years, with revenue exceeding $10.1 billion, 60,000 employees across over 150 countries, and owns the brands INAX, GROHE, and American Standard. The company’s products reach the lives of over 1 billion people every day!!!
They also have “DOAC,” the world’s first hands-free front door — controlled by smartphone or voice, so people who can’t turn a doorknob can open the door themselves. And “KINUAMI Care,” a foam bathing system that reduces the burden on caregivers. LIXIL’s philosophy isn’t just about being “barrier-free” — it’s about seeing invisible needs before they become problems.
Thailand 🇹🇭 has fully entered a super-aged society this year, with over 14 million older adults and over 2 million people with disabilities. This is a challenge we must urgently address so that everyone can have an equal quality of life.
