Guided by the design philosophy of “popularizing professional-grade products”, the home-use Steam Column aims to overcome the limitations of traditional steam generators in terms of installation, operation, and maintenance. With integrated structure and optimized technology, it eliminates the need for professional installation, offering a plug-and-play experience that transforms what was once specialized and sophisticated steam equipment into a user-friendly daily bathroom appliance—promoting the popularization of steam bathing in everyday life.
The Steam Column features a fully integrated structure, eliminating the need for equipment rooms or professional installation as required by conventional solutions. Users no longer need to reserve installation space, overcoming spatial constraints. A standard power plug enables plug-and-play functionality, simplifying power access and making it adaptable to various home bathroom environments—greatly enhancing ease of use. The slide-and-release lid design enables users to perform routine maintenance by themselves, lowering the barrier for long-term use. A high-definition, image-based touch interface integrates multiple functions including session time settings, temperature control, Bluetooth music playback, and chromotherapy feature, offering an intuitive and convenient user experience. Additionally, built-in systems for automatic water supply and drainage enable full-process intelligent management, ensuring stable operation and reliable safety.
The Steam Column embraces a minimalist design and is available in black and white color options. Following ergonomic principles, its overall form features smooth contours and comfortable grip, seamlessly combining modern aesthetics with practical utility. The exterior is made of premium acrylic for a smooth, easy-to-clean finish, while the interior is made entirely from stainless steel using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding for outstanding corrosion and aging resistance. All materials used are recyclable, achieving a harmonious balance between form, function, and environmental sustainability.
