With two new variations of its single basins, Dornbracht extends the range of the usages for the Water Units in the kitchen. They supplement the synchronised complete packages of Dornbracht sinks and fittings.
The modern bathroom is the embodiment of retreat into a world of one's own, far removed from everyday life. In future, as the core area of a private home that is increasingly becoming the focal point of life, the bathroom will gain even more significance – as an isolated bubble within a permeable living cocoon.
Reduced, architectural design is becoming increasingly popular in the bathroom. And this is not surprising, since it is both timeless and modern. However, with the Happy D.2 complete bathroom series by Sieger Design, Duravit is about to show that this and soft lines are not mutually exclusive.
One reason why nature is such an attractive theme for the retreat embodied by the Bathroom Bubble is of course that our modern lifestyle has become so far removed from it. Unspoiled nature is the counterpoint to our reality, which is dominated by an urban feel and the ubiquitous presence of other people, noise and architecture. In the Bathroom Bubble we seek solitude, tranquillity and often also natural, authentic-looking surroundings.
The industry is gearing up to launch its new products onto the world market for the bathroom, building services, energy, air-conditioning and renewable energies at ISH in Frankfurt am Main from 12 to 16 March 2013.

At the same time, the fair will be distinguished by a variety of new highlights for both the water and energy sections.

Ultra-flat, extremely sturdy and stylish: That’s what the manufacturer of bath products Hoesch calls its new Muna shower trays. The special characteristics of the new shower tray series are primarily a result of the robust material and the cleverly designed shape of the shower tray. Available in a range of sizes and shapes, they are suitable for barrier-free use in every bathroom.
The World’s Leading Trade Fair for The Bathroom Experience, Building Services, Energy, Air Conditioning Technology and Renewable Energies – in Frankfurt am Main from 12 to 16 March 2013 will be distinguished by a variety of new themes and special events. “Resource conservation is the subject around which everything at ISH 2013 revolves and, therefore, the focal point of all product segments”, says Wolfgang Marzin, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Messe Frankfurt.
The bathroom has never been pervaded by such an overwhelming sense of freedom as during this year's Pop up my Bathroom project: an extremely forward-looking concept for future development tendencies, make-believe bathroom scenarios (who's ever heard of a beer garden as the backdrop for a bathroom?) and, above all, an abundance of open sky.
When it's wet and cold outside, cosiness in our own four walls ranks high in the popularity stakes. Then a whirlpool bath is particularly agreeable. With its wide choice of whirlpool systems and bathtubs, Kaldewei enables customers to create their very own feel-good programme.
