From Milan to Miami: How Stern’s Touchless Design Redefines Commercial Washrooms

Touchless cubicles, SWAR behind-the-mirror systems, and sustainable fixtures — engineered for airports, stadiums, offices, and cultural spaces worldwide.

From Milan’s design museums to Miami’s stadiums, one invisible innovation connects them all — Stern’s Total Touchless Experience.
Certified under ISO 5452 and LEED 5281, these solutions save up to 70 % water versus conventional fixtures, while elevating design, hygiene, and sustainability to global standards.

Touchless Cubicles

Around the world — proven performance

Across Europe, APAC, and the Americas, Stern’s technology powers world-class washrooms — from LaGuardia Airport (NYC) and Hard Rock Stadium (Miami) to the Hong Kong Palace Museum and Gran Estación Mall (Bogotá).
Each installation demonstrates how innovation, durability, and aesthetics can work seamlessly together — quietly, touchlessly, beautifully.

Innovation that works

  • Touchless Cubicles (42 mm HPL) — floor-to-ceiling privacy, pre-wired structure, proximity-sensor entry and lock with LED occupancy indicator (TOI). No ceiling reinforcement required.

  • SWAR Mirrored Cabinet — faucet, soap dispenser, and hand dryer hidden behind the mirror with illuminated icons and optional media display.

  • Smart Flush & Faucet Controls — IR sensors, dual-flush logic, and optimized flow for resource efficiency.

  • Connected Washroom System — optional IoT monitoring for remote diagnostics and leak detection.

Independent tests show Stern’s systems save up to 70 % water and reduce maintenance time by up to 30 % — earning maximum credits in LEED and ISO 5281 categories for Water Efficiency and Innovation.

  • Hygiene & User Experience – a complete no-touch journey from door to faucet.

  • Sustainability  – measurable savings in water, energy, and maintenance.

  • Design Continuity – minimalist, unified aesthetic across all fixtures.

  • Speed & Support – pre-wired, modular systems; BIM objects and specifier kits available.
