KALDEWEI, Ahlen, July 2024. Kaldewei presents a new collection of bathroom furniture and
accessories. The products were designed by Stefan Diez, the industrial designer from Munich,
and have been developed and manufactured by the interior label e15 for the German bath
manufacturer Kaldewei. Diez designs for both Kaldewei and e15.

The furniture in the new collection is made from solid European oak. A stool and bench,
a footboard, a towel rail and a bathtub bridge fulfil various functions. They are
complemented by accessories made of soft, water-repellent leather. Practical and
clever, the bag and a towel loop can be magnetically attached to the edge of the steel
enamel tub. The warm and natural surfaces of the e15-KALDEWEI Collection
complement the elegant Kaldewei products, such as the freestanding Meisterstück
Oyo Duo bathtub made of glazed titanium steel.

The new collection designed by Stefan Diez
The collaboration is based on shared values and the extensive design expertise of the
partners involved. Kaldewei is a renowned German premium brand with over 100
years of experience in designing and refining iconic bathroom products. e15 is a
leading European furnishings brand that is strongly anchored in the disciplines of
architecture and design and is shaping a new German aesthetic. In addition to their
strong passion for sustainable materials and products, both manufacturers are linked
by their collaboration with the German designer Stefan Diez. Diez has already made a
name for himself with his “10 theses for good design” and is responsible for the
creative design of the e15 for Kaldewei furniture and accessories as well as for
Kaldewei bathroom products.

Handcrafted furniture and accessories
STOOL and BENCH are handcrafted and inspired by traditional wooden constructions,
with a playful and balanced geometry. The BASE footboard appears to float above the
ground thanks to its ridged construction. This allows the air to circulate and the oiled
oak wood to dry easily. Playful and indispensable, the BRIDGE bathtub bridge features
a circular recess for better handling and the ability to keep a towel close at hand.

An integrated magnet on the underside securely fixes BRIDGE to the steel enamel
bathtub. The TRIPOD towel holder is characterised by versatility and dynamism. Its
triangular layout ensures stability and sufficient space to accommodate bath and hand
towels of any size. POCKET and LOOP are leather accessories treated with a water repellent finish and equipped with invisible magnets.

They take advantage of the fact that all Kaldewei parts are made of enamelled steel.

Quality and style for connoisseur buyers
With this new collection, Kaldewei appeals to connoisseurs for whom quality,
aesthetics and the sensory experience are far more important than the purely
functional use of a product. They value natural and sustainable materials and like to
invest in high-quality solutions and handcrafted products that also appeal to them
emotionally. The new e15-KALDEWEI furniture is a stylish addition not only to the
bathroom, but also to many other areas of the home. With the creation of the e15-
Kaldewei collection, the trio Stefan Diez, e15 and Kaldewei have succeeded in
combining sustainable design elements with outstanding joy of use.
