Corrie Stride Bathroom

When renovating a bathroom, we often focus on the tiles, the lighting and the overall look. But what about the technology that makes your bathroom work?

From the effortless twist of a tap to the perfect shower temperature, the quiet hum of water working in harmony with technology, when these seemingly simple moments work well, it’s likely that there is a world of innovation behind them that you rarely see.

We sat down with Corrie Stride, Leader for South East Africa at LIXIL IMEA (the company behind renowned brands like GROHE) at the Silo Hotel in Cape Town, to understand what makes their products the ‘Heart of Your Bathroom.’ Corrie, who has been instrumental in driving GROHE’s presence across the region, takes us beyond the aesthetics and explains why investing in GROHE’s unseen technologies is the key to smarter, more sustainable and truly joyful bathroom experiences.

The Great Safari Family Adventure

The South African safari is one of the few holidays that still manages to surprise people. Not because the animals have changed. Lions remain lions. Elephants remain elephants. Buffalo still look like they woke up angry sometime around 1987 and have been carrying that energy ever since. Yet every safari somehow feels different from the last.
