Good design shapes everyday life. With the 2025 launches – the S 480 range and the Duo Design Washbasin – HEWI reinforces its benchmark status in elegance and functionality.
The new S 480 series reinterprets clarity with a contemporary language: architectural accessories that are both robust and refined, bringing elegance and consistency to a wide range of applications. It expands HEWI’s portfolio with fresh typologies where functionality and spatial harmony come together seamlessly.
Alongside it, the Duo Washbasin redefines everyday rituals. Its two-bowl configuration is more than a design flourish – it is a striking design statement that reflects shared living and flexibility. Whether in residential settings or public interiors, the basin adapts to how people actually interact with space.
Both innovations stem from HEWI’s unwavering commitment to design as a cultural tool – one that bridges Bauhaus heritage with modern-day demands for aesthetics, functionality and sustainability. The company’s design philosophy has always gone beyond the purely functional, considering instead how products participate in the emotional and social lives of their users. The Duo Washbasin, for example, recognises that the bathroom is not only a space of necessity but also one of community and ritual. The S 480 accessories, meanwhile, reaffirm that clarity and robustness can coexist with a graceful aesthetic.
HEWI’s approach to product development is deeply collaborative, involving architects, planners and end users. This ensures that each innovation reflects real needs and contexts, not abstract ideals. S 480’s strength lies in its versatility: it can sit comfortably in private homes as well as in demanding public environments. The Duo Washbasin showcases HEWI’s dedication to timeless design and authentic materials. Crafted from high-quality ceramic, it turns everyday routines into design highlights – combining durability, natural tactility and elegance.
With over 90 design awards to date, HEWI’s latest products reaffirm its role as a leader in shaping the future of bathroom architecture. More than just new products, they are a statement: that good design is always a step ahead of life itself.
