"From today's perspective, Universal Design does not see itself as a translator or advocate of specific lifestyles, but rather functions as a systemic designer of a life and work that is always in motion.”
- Thomas Bade, Managing Director of the Institute for Universal Design
Statement
As a pioneer in accessible equipment solutions, we have been working for a very long time together with experts within the architecture and design scene, as well as users, to create a world in which people of all ages and health conditions can live as independently as possible - in all areas of their lives.
Statements on universal design in different areas of life:
Inspiration
HEWI stands for holistic architectural solutions from the door to the bathroom, which are characterised by the highest standards of design and function. A wide variety of materials and designs offer design options and make accessibility a matter of course in all areas of their application. We design inspiring rooms for everyone.
Be inspired by these accessible architectural solutions:
"Architecture and design must meet the requirement of being intuitively graspable and sustainably usable for every different area of people's lives.”
- Thorsten Stute, Managing Director of HEWI
Solution
Only if we manage to regard accessible products as an element of comfort and a matter of course, can Universal Design be understood and lived as a future task for an entire society. The Professional Care, Hotel, Public, Home and Education sectors are uniquely characterised by their very different requirements for building equipment.
