A strong statement for forward-thinking design and intelligent engineering: TECEdrainway has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 Gold, one of the world’s most prestigious design prizes. The jury honors a solution that rethinks technology while visually reducing it to the essentials:
“This innovative shower drainage system puts an end to tedious maintenance thanks to a self-cleaning mechanism that operates with a vortex flow. By intelligently utilizing the water flow, an extremely discreet and elegant surface design is created. The function disappears from view, while the performance remains.”
It is precisely this consistent combination of technical intelligence and understated design that makes TECEdrainway a pioneering innovation for modern shower spaces.
TECEdrainway impresses with a minimalist, architectural design featuring an ultra-slim channel. It integrates discreetly and seamlessly into any bathroom environment—present, yet never dominant.
Four elegant color options (Black, Bronze, Brass, and Stainless Steel, each brushed) allow for tone-on-tone combinations or striking contrasts, matching any individual style. The high-quality PVD surface finish effectively protects against scratches and ensures a durable, sophisticated appearance – even with intensive use.
TECEdrainway also offers numerous advantages during installation:
