Always an innovative company looking to introduce its Asian audience to fine Western home products, E.Bon is pleased to introduce Kaldewei, a European company that has its roots in 1918 as a specialist in enamel manufacture.

Today, Kaldewei's expertise still lies in the unique material, which is used in all of its luxury bathtubs. Using Californian Borax, Scandinavian quartz, feldspar, soda and the world’s biggest enameling furnaces, Kaldewei produces bath objects that come with a 30-year guarantee.

Made of 3.55mm thick steel and coated with a scratch-resistant glossy enamel surface that is beautifully glossy and durable, Kaldewei bathtubs are the epitome of home bath indulgence, providing tubs and shower pans that will provide you with a soothing spa experience, right in the comfort of your own home.

Dragon Conoflat

We take a look at some of Kaldewei's iconic products, starting with the new limited edition Dragon Conoflat, developed exclusively for the Asian market in collaboration with German fine porcelain makers Meissen. For this special edition, Kaldewei's iconic Conoflat, the multi award-winning enamelled shower tray has been hand-painted with an intricate dragon motif at the Meissen porcelain factory, before being finished in a firing process at Kaldewei. 

A traditional symbol of prosperity and good fortune, Meissen’s traditional Ming dragon was the ideal motif for the limited edition produced by Kaldewei and Meissen. The dragon motif and the intricate craftsmanship of Meissen’s artists stand out as a particularly striking design on Kaldewei’s enamelled shower floor panel Conoflat – the dragon was adapted to fit perfectly onto the shower tray. The enamelled drain cover, a characteristic design element of Kaldewei Conoflat, is adorned with Meissen’s familiar crossed swords.

“Kaldewei and Meissen are a perfect match – both stand for German companies with a long tradition and substantive values, complementing each other beautifully,” explains Nicole Roesler, head of Marketing and Product Management at Kaldewei. “The Chinese market is developing rapidly with highly positive results; its luxury segment in particular will soon be one of the key markets for Kaldewei,” Roesler says.

Produced in a limited edition of just 49 unique shower trays, the Dragon Conoflat will be available for purchase in the Asian market starting July 2012.

The showers that have black frames have a very distinctive look. They are defined by clean lines and a certain level of industrial beauty combined with modern simplicity.

Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
