11:45-12:15 h: Trend talk: Cosiness in the bathroom

Trend-Talk with the designers Sebastian Herkner und Christian Werner

Host: Frank A. Reinhardt (FAR.consulting)

Hardly any design trend has shaped the bathroom in recent years as much as the trend towards cosiness: warm materials such as wood or textiles, furniture, carpets or even a decorative wall and floor design are the components for a homely private spa. Also, the materials now cope with the temperature and humidity climate of the bathroom. But sufficient storage space is also crucial for the feel-good factor of the bathroom: because tidied up, the bathroom is twice as beautiful. In the Trend Talk, Frank A. Reinhardt discusses homely bathroom design with his guests.

Trend-Talk with Dr. Susanne Steinhauer (burgbad), Steffen Erath (hansgrohe) und Andreas Braun (ZVSHK)

Host: Jens J. Wischmann (VDS)

Sustainability has long since become an important topic in society. Conserving resources is the order of the day everywhere. Especially in the bathroom, where a third of the daily drinking water requirement is used for showering, bathing and personal hygiene. But it is not only about saving drinking water. The topic is more complex. In the Sustainable Bathroom panel talk, sustainability in the bathroom is presented as a concept for the future. On the one hand, the panel looks at the interplay of smart products that save water and energy, environmentally friendly industrial production, the use of sustainable materials and durable design. On the other hand consumer trends such as zero waste will be discussed.

Industry talk with Sandra Hunke (Das Baumädchen), Lena Hinz (MH Michael Hinz) and Sandra Hettinger (Villeroy & Boch)

Host: Jens J. Wischmann (VDS)

The skilled crafts sector is still male-dominated. Only about 12 percent of all employed women work in craft professions. And this is despite the fact that the skilled crafts sector in general has been lacking young talent for some time. Host Jens J. Wischmann talks to successful women craftspeople and the head of crafts sales at Villeroy & Boch about their motivation to take up a craft profession, career opportunities and how more women can be inspired to take up the craft.
