A Modern Work of Art

With honed aesthetics and enhancements to sound and technology, R7 Mk3 is a wonderful, ground-breaking sound system that will satisfy music lovers and design aficionados alike.

Healthy Water

mitte® is on a mission to improve lives with healthy water, by revolutionising the way we drink water at home, with its first-of-its-kind smart water system that harnesses the power of the natural water cycle. It’s not just safe but healthy water — the way nature intended it to be.

Inspired by the natural water cycle, the smart device uses a proprietary purification technology based on distillation. It purifies water to an unprecedented degree and removes all potential contaminants, including bacteria and viruses, hormones, pharmaceuticals and more.

After which, the pure, distilled water is vitalised with a mineral cartridge containing natural, essential minerals to give users healthy, daily drinking water. Users can choose between different cartridge options with varying mineral compositions and levels, creating different types of mineral water based on their preference.

The mitte® machine is also digitally integrated and connected to their mobile app that acts as a control centre. It automatically tracks mineral cartridge usage and re-orders fresh new cartridges when the current one is running low so that users will never run out of healthy water.

Mitte filtered water is 60 times cleaner than pitcher filters, three times cleaner than reverse osmosis systems AND it’s four times more efficient than other home distillers. Only available on pre-order, £291 (mitte.co)
