A conversation about Serenity Sky from Dornbracht: Dr Christoph Stumpe on the healing power of water

Iserlohn, 6 February 2025

The Serenity Sky rain panel from Dornbracht transforms the daily shower into a regenerative experience for the body, mind, and soul. The minimalist design by Sieger Design focuses on the powerful effect of the five spray modes, which can specifically promote our health. The fittings manufacturer developed them in collaboration with Dr Christoph Stumpe. In this interview, the expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine explains the scientific background to the jet types, their effects on our bodies, and why Serenity Sky sets new standards for holistic well-being.

Dr Stumpe, what was the starting point for your considerations regarding the jet types of Serenity Sky? Why should it be exactly these?
The choice centred on the effect of the spray types. Each type of jet has its own specific effect on the human body-soul-spirit unit. I am convinced that a lasting shower experience is created by the momentum and the feeling experienced, which lasts even after the shower. The aim of Serenity Sky was to combine the various needs for physical relaxation, vitalisation, regeneration, harmonisation and holistic well-being, and to integrate these into everyday life.

What makes the interplay of the five spray types so special? Which combination do you personally recommend?
Serenity Sky offers a feel-good experience that goes beyond normal showering. The selected spray types cover the modes of action described above and can create further differentiated effects in a balanced interplay. The jet types can reinforce each other or extend the range of effects. They create stimuli that are processed in the body and have a positive effect on our well-being. A special feature of the rain panel is that its different jet types allow the user to shower according to their individual needs. Sometimes we long for an intensive, powerful shower, and sometimes we need a softer, enveloping form of water. I personally enjoy the Aquapressure and the Laminar Flow framed by the Full Rain. Here I have a combination of selective jet types that I let flow onto specific points on my body to relieve tension and revitalise me at the same time.

What health-promoting effects can Aquapressure Flow have? What does the jet do for me?
The Aquapressure Flow unfolds its effect due to the intensity of the pressure and the targeted selection of important acupuncture points. Serenity Sky focuses in particular on the shoulder area and the crown of the head, which are very important for stress regulation and relaxation. Shoulder and neck tension, which is very common, is a classic sign of a stressed nervous system, poor circulation, and restricted local metabolism. The Aquapressure Flow promotes relaxation, harmony and helps you to “come down”, regain your centre, and regenerate.

What is the significance of the impact points of the individual jet types? What was considered here?
It is crucial where the water jet hits the body. In both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we recognise specific points and areas that influence other physiological processes in the body in addition to their local effect. With Aquapressure and Laminar Flow, we have selected the reference points of acupuncture and ensured that the intensity, temperature, and interplay with the other jet types are harmonised to achieve the desired effects.
