Past and Present

Aliseo GmbH, headquartered in the Black Forest, is a trailblazing designer of innovative products developed specifically for hotel bathrooms and guestrooms.  With nearly 35 years of experience and more than one million installations, Aliseo possesses a unique understanding of worldwide trends as well as the special cultural and geographic features of the international hotel industry.

High safety standards as well as international industrial standards are integrated in product design from the development stage onwards.  Aliseo is a trendsetter that uses, further develops and adapts innovative technologies and materials to optimize and enhance product durability and efficiency.  Aliseo products fit beautifully in a variety of interior designs – acting as visual and functional highlights that heighten the attractiveness of the rooms by conveying feelings of luxury and comfort to the guests. 

A LEGACY OF INNOVATION

Emerging from its humble beginnings as a single-product “Garage Company” Aliseo has successfully anticipated the future by combining technological advancements with inspiring designs that depart from the mainstream, resulting in a New Culture of Hospitality.

In 1985 Aliseo GmbH established its reputation as a trendsetter with its introduction of the “World’s Safest Hair Dryer”. A wall mounted model specifically designed to eliminate the hotelier’s safety, security and liability concerns. Hotel Hair Dryers soon became an industry standard.  In 1993 by incorporating newly developed safety technologies into a much smaller profile Aliseo proceeded to introduce the first pistol/holster hair dryer specifically engineered for hotel applications.

ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE

Aliseo prides itself on “staying ahead of the curve“ by combining innovative designs with the latest technology. When appropriate Aliseo applies the precepts of Value Added Engineering (VAT) in the rational analysis of function in order to identify relationships that increase value.  Information gathering, creation processes and product success evaluation are all part of this progression. 

In 2003 Aliseo became the FIRST manufacturer to integrate LED lighting systems into their lighted mirrors.  Tiny micro-dot LEDs dramatically increased the efficiency of the mirror – expanding the lifespan and opening up new design formulations – permitting a flat-screen design within a sleek thin profile.

In 2010 Aliseo continued to maximize the lighting efficiency of LED design with their introduction of the Luminox SMD (Surface Mounted Device) which integrates 3 LEDs into each LED module.  This stabilized both the brightness and efficiency of the LEDs creating a much brighter and more focused light.  In addition Aliseo’s SMD system was integrated into one heat resistant platform specifically engineered for a hassle-free “plug & play” replacement.  No other manufacturer uses this system.

In 2012 Aliseo developed a Two-Tone-Lighting module which they engineered into their LED Cubik and Saturn lines of illuminated mirrors.  Aliseo’s T3 system integrates two independent systems with different light illuminating pigmentations.  This revolutionary two stage lighting technique bathes the skin in a shadow-free soft white or warm light for the most exacting cosmetic applications; illuminated touch sensor offers the user their choice of a cool bright daytime look or a warm night time reflection.

MOON DANCE

– Geometric, minimalist and unpretentious –

Aliseo developed with the German firm sieger Design the MOON DANCE series of illuminated mirrors – an understated confident sculptural form that combines two geometric lines to create a hybrid visual dialogue. New forms and new materials are the focal point of the MOON DANCE mirror line.  

A visual asymmetrical synergy is realized by using a rectangular arm to connect a circular acrylic housing with a distinctive round base.  Unusual design language for an ergonomically intuitive solution; a frosted textured acrylic canopy allows for a backside ambient light for a warmer more personalized presentation.

Finger touch sensor activates a specially engineered lighting strip that integrates SMD and T3 technologies.  Two light pigmentations (a cool white and warm light) are integrated into one LED module offering the user their choice of a reflective imaging that simulates a night time or daytime reflections.

DESIGN

– A Commitment to Excellence –

As a leader in hospitality research and development, Aliseo has solidified their brand identity by continuously developing design-oriented, technologically advanced products that provide distinctive brand identity to the hotelier and a new level of comfort and convenience to their guests.

Items for a new hospitality culture where the sum of various products build a harmonic whole.  An aesthetic functional setting for the pleasure of the guest and the benefit of the hotelier based on products that can turn a room into a rational, sensory and aesthetic statement of personalized taste. 

To that end Aliseo has invested heavily in cutting-edge research that has allowed us to explore a “new way” of thinking via production techniques and material use in the development of product design.

In addition to facilitate the integration of our products by designers we have assembled all our items in most common CAD-formats for their review and easy implementation in their individual graphics and/or CAD program. Available to Designers upon request in our Interactive Portal or via USB upon request.

Aliseo continuously monitors the evolving trends and demands of the hospitality sector by constantly seeking out the sentiments of leading hotel chains, interior and product designers and its own well established client base.

Here, in the Black Forest, where craftsmanship has a tradition, where it has been fostered and developed is the source of our experience and accomplishments.
