23 Sep Green Dreams

The West One Bathrooms showroom welcomed British designer Bethan Laura Wood during Focus/23, to unveil a new capsule collection she has created for Kaldewei. Wood is known for an exuberant use of colour and pattern and Avocado Dreams makes a tongue-in-cheek reference to the classic colour of choice for a 1970s bathroom – although her approach is somewhat different.

Using Kaldewei’s enamelled steel bath, shower tray and basin as canvas for her creativity, the designer has created a dazzling graphic pattern for each, available in three colourways. The freestanding ‘Meisterstuck Oyo Duo’ bath, on show in the West One Bathrooms showroom, is particularly striking, its entire inner surface covered in Wood’s almost psychedelic pattern and providing a contrast to the bath itself’s simple, minimal shape.

“I was very interested in designing a pattern that reflects the aura of the bathroom itself or the idea of a luxurious space where one takes time for oneself,” says Wood. “I love this kind of luxury and the feeling of being enveloped in something beautiful, so I took this as a reference for my patterns.”

Kaldewei is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable bathroom design, and its steel enamel is plastic-free, extremely durable and 100 percent recyclable at the end of a long life cycle.
