Making its debut at Clerkenwell Design Week, Kaldewei participated in the festival from a stand within the historic Charterhouse, the remarkable Grade 1 listed building at the very heart of the event.
Taking a stand amid atmospheric panelling and ancient works of art, Kaldewei displayed their Meisterstück Classic Duo Oval in the elegant new shade of dusky pink. The freestanding bathtub was flanked by two stylish wooden E15 stools; whilst the bath may have been the highlight of the show it was joined by the new AVELLINO washbasin, its slender silhouette lending the basin a delicate, almost floating lightness. Alongside this was the NUEVA – designed by Werner Aisslinger and shown in the new shade of dusky pink.
A selection of Kaldewei’s new CALIMA showertrays, were also shown on the stand these innovative new shower solutions demonstrate Kaldewei’s adoption of Solidlite™ material technology. The material’s core is made from recycled glass, and its construction is engineered to resist warping, cracking and breakage over time. In a market increasingly influenced by circularity, responsible procurement and product longevity, those attributes are fast becoming commercial considerations rather than optional extras.
Calima is the first shower surface to showcase this new generation of Kaldewei technology, and its design language is deliberately architectural. Step-free and flush to floor, it features a discreet waste outlet positioned on the short side and framed by a crisp design edge, helping to support efficient drainage while preserving a clean, uncluttered visual line – an increasingly important detail in open, walk-in shower spaces.
Available in 44 sizes and five contemporary colour options, Calima is positioned to serve projects ranging from compact en-suites to larger family bathroom schemes. More than simply another tray launch, it represents a product response to the practical, aesthetic and environmental demands now shaping the sanitary ware trade.
