“What is typically individual?” and “What types of individual bathrooms are there?” – those are the questions the Pop up my Bathroom trend forum will be asking at the ISH 2017.
What does the bathroom of the future look like? Which new technologies and social developments will have a lasting influence on the bathroom? In addition to the surge of innovations being driven by digitalisation, the bathroom will have to provide new usage options as well.
The Condensed Bathroom provides the essence of modern bathroom culture in a compact space: when it comes to the ideal bathroom for urban areas and a target audience that wants to live where the action is without missing out on anything, this could well be the face of the future.
The Nature Bathroom embodies the vision of a bathroom that expresses its commitment to sustainable action and nature through the choice of materials, design and water technology.
Classic bathroom products and high-tech functions are merging into the Digital Bathroom. Even today, a wave of the hand is all it takes to start the water running or bathe the room in the desired light. The innovations the industry is showcasing at the ISH 2017 indicate what direction the bathroom is evolving in.
Expectations of the bathroom have increased – and will continue to do so. At the same time, consumers no longer primarily define comfort in terms of traditional signs of luxury like marble or exclusive designer fittings, but in terms of personalised bathroom equipment and design. Because the Comfortable Bathroom is no longer built for generations, but for the moment. 365 days a year.
When it comes to taking care of body and soul, the bathroom is taking on new meaning: as a private gym with hydrotherapy treatments in an individual feel-good atmosphere. Modern technology is used to integrate traditional techniques and create a personalised oasis.
Simple, tasteful and above all original: the modern urban bathroom has style and takes a self-assured approach to its historical heritage. It doesn’t matter whether the furniture is meant for the living room or the bathroom: as long as the look is right, anything goes.
White-on-white monotony with walls tiled all the way up to the ceiling was yesterday: the bathroom is becoming a stylish feel-good space that people enjoy spending time in.
The VDS trend forum presents expert talks, panel discussions and workshops on a broad spectrum of topics ranging from individualism all the way to digitalisation. Extensive lecture programme on trends in bathroom design at the ISH 2017.
Pop up my Bathroom, an initiative of the German Sanitary Industry Association (Vereinigung Deutsche Sanitärwirtschaft e.V. [VDS]) and Messe Frankfurt established in conjunction with the ISH, is an experimental platform for architects, bathroom planners, interior designers and journalists.
