In 2015, the UN adopted the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 17 goals for sustainable development.

12:45-13:30 h: Industry talk: Creating a bathroom showroom with emotional appeal

Talk guests: Christian Wadsack (Hofmann + Wadsack Innenarchitektur), Philipp Beck (atelier 522) und Christian Zinser (TCZ), Thorsten Moortz (handwerk.live)

Host: Jens J. Wischmann (VDS)

With the development of the bathroom from a purely functional to a lifestyle space, the aesthetic performance component has increased significantly in recent times. Circadian lighting control, multi-sensory shower experiences and smart networking make the bathroom an increasingly technical space that simultaneously conveys emotions. How can this emotionality be implemented in showrooms in trade, industry and commerce? And what technical aids support this?

13:45-14:15 Uhr: Emotional lighting design in the bathroom

Speaker: Thorsten Moortz (handwerk.live)

Creating a completely new living ambience in the bathroom with different, even coloured, light sources - a few years ago, this was only possible with a great deal of planning effort and a high budget. Today, it is very easy to combine different luminaires and to control them via a programmable scene. Even the planning effort can be reduced to a few minutes with the appropriate know-how. In his lecture, Thorsten Moortz shows exactly how this can work. Light thus becomes an added value for customers and a unique selling point in bathroom planning.

14:30-14:50 h: CEO-Talk with Reiner Habermann (Kermi)

Host: Inga Wegemann (SHK-TV)

Employed by Kermi since 1993, he has held various management positions in national/international sales - the last few years as Head of Sales Kermi Sanitär worldwide. In the CEO Talk, Habermann talks about the relevance of glass quality in shower enclosures, shower design solutions and the Central Association of Sanitary Heating Climate campaign Time to Start.

15:00-15:30 h: Age-appropriate, barrier-free, care-friendly: three models for bathroom remodelling

Speaker: Daniela Heinemann (ABB)

Many demands are made on today's private bathroom: It should be just as suitable for comfortable and long-lasting self-determined use as it is for the care of young or elderly people. All of this should be achieved in a small space and with a pleasant design, so that concerns such as relaxation and well-being are not neglected. How can the conversion to such bathrooms succeed and what needs to be considered when it comes to age-appropriate, barrier-free or care-oriented wellness oases? Answers to these questions will be provided by Daniela Heinemann, speaker for the Barrier-Free Bathroom Campaign, in her lecture.

15:45-16:30 h: Trend Talk: Emotional Bathroom

Talk guests: Torsten Müller (TM Designbad), Dirk Engelhardt (Geberit) and Andre Höbling & Tanja Maier-Römlein (DeinCreativLab)

Host: Jens J. Wischmann (VDS)

The bathroom has long since become a place of well-being in our homes. However, planning and implementing a bathroom is a complex process that is traditionally technically determined. But ultimately, bathroom use is about one thing above all: pure emotion. The panel discusses how these emotions can be realised in terms of lighting, product use and bathroom design.
