Universal Design
as a future task

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 Range 801, HEWI launched the first accessibility range on the German market and has since stood for quality made in Germany. In this way HEWI achieved market leadership in the accessibility sanitary fittings segment. 

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

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

The individual object types in architecture are characterised by highly different requirements for building equipment. For this reason, "Design Comfort Care" presents individual solutions for accessible sanitary environments in different types of buildings: from hospitals and care homes to public facilities, kindergartens and schools to restaurants, hotels and the home.

"Our aim is to develop products that are easy and intuitive to use and that help users to cope with everyday life 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.
