“Roots” in Hamburg’s HafenCity demonstrates how buildings will be built in the future: sustainably, with innovation and a clear focus on conserving resources. With its wood and concrete hybrid construction and the conscious selection of recyclable materials, including the sophisticated designer bathtubs from Kaldewei, the 20-storey building sets new standards.

KALDEWEI is setting standards for confidence and safety in the bathroom with the surface finishes Invisible Grip and Anti-slip Secure Plus. These elegant bathroom surfaces guarantee a stable and carefree, luxurious shower or bath experience without slipping or compromising on aesthetics.

On Monday 4th November the winners and highly commended entrants gathered at the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, Knightsbridge to find out the results of the Future Icons Awards 2025. Kaldewei won the Future Icons Award in the Design & Interiors category for the best Sustainable Interior or Design Product innovation. What the judges said: ‘An extremely impressive pivot of a 100-year-old business to focus on sustainability, and to address steel specifically.’

With KALDEWEI, sustainable bathroom dreams come true. This is also demonstrated by the latest project from Studio Apostoli. The Italian design and architecture firm from Verona has redesigned eight suites of the resort and spa hotel Terme Preistoriche in the spa town of Montegrotto near Padua, close to Venice. In addition to the NUEVA and MIENA washbowls, NEXSYS floor-level shower surfaces were also integrated into the bathrooms of the luxurious Green Lodges.

152 rooms and apartments, two restaurants, a café and unique conference rooms including a historic theatre hall – the Grand Hotel in the Polish university and industrial city of Łódź has been synonymous with prestige and elegance for 135 years. After a complete renovation in 2023, it has been adapted to the current requirements of a five-star hotel. When it came to equipping the bathrooms, the hotel management made a conscious decision in favour of the premium manufacturer Kaldewei.
