Kaldewei: Designer Bathroom Culture | Luxury Insider
E.Bon introduces Kaldewei, a fine bathroom fittings German house founded in 1918 that offers the best steel and enamel designer pieces for a spa-worthy home sanctuary
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.
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.
Also from Kaldewei is the eye-catching Conoflat, the first enameled flush fit shower pan. Boasting an extremely flat design that lies flush against the floor, the aptly named Conoflat is covered in enamel, and anti-slip and customizable for the most comfortable, stylish product.
Another signature product from Kaldewei is the Freestanding Conoduo by Kaldewei. Billed as a ‘style icon of bathing culture’, the Conoduo melds unique design with comfort, toegether with clean architectural lines that enhance a sense of peace and tranquility.
Nifty features of the Kaldewei Conoduo bath include its streamlined presentation, with a concealed waste depository with an enamel cover and an enamelled knob for ease of control of water flow.
Duo Pool
The Duo Pool with Paneling by Kaldewei is another beauty to consider for your shower. A deep, sinuous bath for the ultimate in indulgence, the dimensions and depth of the bath have been carefully calibrated to provide maximum space and freedom of movement, while still maintaining a compact size to fit comfortably into virtually any size of bathroom.
The Centro Duo Oval is a freestanding bath from Kaldewei that features specially designed backrests and a moulded panel for a sleek design. Also available as a whirlpool, the distinctive oval shape of the Centro Duo Oval will make a conversation-starter and a treat for house guests.
Kaldewei Asymmetric Duo
The Asymmetric Duo by Kaldewei is another masterpiece of design and functionality. The extended surface can be used as a leaning or sitting space, while also providing a generous ledge for bath accessories.
The sharp, clean edges of the outer bath is a stunning contrast to the ergonomic , curved silhouette of the inner bath. In addition, the integrated enamelled waste cover on the bottom of the bath lends further seamless minimalism to the design as a whole.
