LEMI: Spa Dream table

The Spa Dream treatment bed from LEMI enables spas to perform a wide range of massages – from the dry heat of a quartz massage to heated water experiences.

Featuring a colour therapy system with seven alternating colours, Spa Dream offers both height and Trendelenburg electric adjustment. The sand version of the bed has spherical quartz, which envelops the body when heated to create a sense of inner relaxation and offers ideal support for massages.

The heated water mattress alternative is comprised of eight separate cushions, to keep the water evenly distributed. This gives a stable and comfortable surface for both the guest and the therapist and allows for even the most vigorous and localised massage to be performed.

CAROL: CAR.O.L bike

Said to give a personalised, HIIT workout in a matter of seconds, the AI-powered CAR.O.L exercise bike has been created to be both innovative and disruptive.

A ride on the stationary bike is the equivalent of a 45-minute jog with two x 20 seconds of maximum intensity but very short, personalised sprints and a total of eight minutes to warm up and cool down.

Using AI and self-learning algorithms, an initial body scan helps CAR.O.L build its ‘data picture’ and advanced tech includes a heart rate monitor and an ergometer to take readings three times a second.

Settings can be adjusted in every ride to create customised programmes that either push the user harder or slow them down, until they reach their genetic ‘set point’ for fitness.

Planika Fires: Faro patio heater

The Faro gas patio heater by Planika can be moved around the terrace or garden to create a range of different light ambiences.

Thanks to a replaceable LPG gas bottle, the heater is truly portable and runs on castors without any hard connections.

Simple to assemble and maintain, Faro has a burning time of up to 55 hours and a maximum heat output of 5.5kW.

A global leader in the production and distribution of advanced bioethanol fireplaces for indoor and outdoor spaces, Planika Fires has a comprehensive range of style-led products for commercial use in spas.

Technogym: Case

A complete in-room solution, Technogym Case was designed by the brand’s Master Trainers to meet the wellness needs of hotel and spa guests, such as eliminating jet lag, energetic awakening or stretching before going to sleep.

The kit comprises a selection of tools in a high-quality designer bag, finely finished and completed by a digital library of training videos to offer guests a 360° wellness experience.

A QR code provides access to a new virtual training service that can be viewed directly on a phone or broadcast to an in-room television for an even more engaging experience.

For all-round use, Technogym’s iconic Wellness Ball is included to improve posture through micro-movements during ‘active sitting’ or the incorporation of targeted exercises to tone back muscles.

Kettal: Half Dome lamp

Created by designer Naoto Fukasawa for Kettal, the Half Dome outdoor light adds a contemporary flourish to a spa’s exterior and is available in two versions as well as 34 aluminium colours.

Intended to replicate the variations of moonlight, the floor lamp is suitable for commercial use and operated via a touch-free system.

Kettal also has a wide range of striking outdoor furniture solutions to accompany Half Dome, including the Winter Garden pavilion, which would be ideal for a spa garden or outdoor space.

Finished with tempered glass on both sides, including sliding doors and casement windows, the pavilion’s floor is made of composite wooden slats and it can be supplied with either a closed aluminium ceiling or a fabric sliding option. Providing a completely enclosed space, it is also possible to remove the pavilion’s sides so it can function as a pergola in warmer months.

Tweaq: Touch 1

The Touch 1 self-disinfecting door handle has been created by Swiss tech company Tweaq. The aluminium handle is used as normal, but once released a peristaltic pump brings disinfectant liquid from the casing to a sponge inside the ring around the handle.

An internal system then drives the outer aluminium ring backwards and forwards along the surface, eliminating 99% of bacteria and viruses in under three seconds.

Touch 1 is powered by an electric engine and lithium batteries that provide more than 1,000 uses per cartridge. It can be installed in under 10 minutes and used with standards doors without modification. The casing replacement has been developed to be as sustainable as possible and a ‘plug and play’ feature allows swapping of the casing in less than 30 seconds.

“Our product combines hardware and software technology to provide an effective and reliable solution that not only protects people but can save businesses money in the long run,” says Tweaq CEO Giovanni Barilla.
