Fresh Impulse in the bathroom

HEWI brings more lightness into the bathroom – System 800 accessories get a refresh with powder-coated surfaces in matt white and matt black.

White and black stand for elegance and timelessness. In these colours can also be an invigorating highlight. With this in mind, HEWI, experts for barrier-free sanitary solutions, has freshened up their System 800, which has been successful for more than 10 years now: with powder-coated surfaces in black matt and white matt that are also appealing to the touch. An inspiring measure to expand once again the planning versatility of the tried-and-tested accessories of the System 800 range.

HEWI systems are internationally regarder as unmistakable and extremely durable. Their slender lines, modularity and precision down to the finest detail make an impact in sanitary rooms and in all sorts of buildings and give them that certain something. Within the diverse, combinable series and systems from HEWI, System 800 is characterised by clear lines and large, harmonious radii. According to HEWI, they create a “special lightness in the bathroom”.

Award-winning and timeless

System 800 has won several awards and was created by Phoenix Design. With system 800, HEWI pursued the idea, together with the design specialists, of creating a design language based on basic shapes with a reduced use of materials and, in the sense of universal design, to enable all people to use it without restriction. "The design should relate in its clarity to the architecture and inspire those who use it. We are convinced that System 800 maintains the perfect balance between form, function and emotion, and in this sense will outlast short-lived trends", as Andreas Haug from Phoenix describes the concept. Among the recognised design awards that HEWI has received for System 800 is the Universal Design Award. HEWI received this coveted design award as early as 2010. This illustrates how the company already contributed at an early stage with its outstanding expertise to anchoring the theme of universal design in architecture and society.

New: System 800 accessories in black matt and white matt

The new versions with powder coating in black matt and white matt complement the existing chrome finishes and are recommended for the hotel and home segments. The already very large planning diversity has now been significantly expanded with the System 800 accessories available in matt black and matt white and offers fresh inspiration for the design of the washbasin, WC and shower/ bath areas.  Further creative scope is provided by the inserts of fine, satin-finished crystal glass or high quality polyamide. "With System 800 and the new surface finishes, HEWI sets new standards once again in terms of high-quality design and functionality in the bathroom.  Our carefully designed bathroom series in the sense of universal design pursue design standards in which function and form are closely interconnected with each other. The system concept and the variety of surfaces and materials allow HEWI solutions to open up versatile design options", is the conviction of Susan Herrmann product manager at HEWI.
