Universal Design
as a task for the future

The philosophy of universal design incorporates the needs of all people. HEWI has been living this ideal for more than 35 years as a sustainable and holistic design philosophy. With Series 801, HEWI launched the first barrier-free series on the German market and has since stood for quality made in Germany. In this way HEWI achieved market leadership in the accessible sanitary fittings segment.

With this experience HEWI has published "Design Comfort Care", which covers numerous aspects of accessibility in architecture. In it, architects discover statements from experts on universal design as well as trend-setting barrier-free sanitary solutions in architecture.

HEWI's intention for "Design Comfort Care" is that barrier-free products are seen as natural comfort elements. The publication is intended to contribute to Universal Design being understood and lived as a task for the future for an entire society.

The individual object types in architecture are characterised by highly different requirements for the building equipment. Therefore, individual solutions for barrier-free sanitary worlds in different types of buildings will be presented in "Design Comfort Care": from hospitals and nursing homes to public facilities, kindergartens and schools to restaurants and hotels as well as the home.

"Our goal is to develop products that are easy and intuitive to use, that help people to cope with everyday life independently with little physical effort. In this way, HEWI offers users an aesthetic sanitary world adapted to their needs: Design Comfort Care", Thorsten Stute, Managing Director of HEWI, explains the company's philosophy.
