Bagno Design, Dubai’s chain of high-end bathroom design centres, is offering its discerning clients across the Middle East a comprehensive range of services – from concept interior design of bathrooms to state-of-the-art relaxing en-suite shower rooms and contemporary wet rooms – to fit all individual tastes and varying space sizes.
“Our philosophy is to provide diverse solutions for bathrooms of superior quality and creative design, for every requirement,” says Daryl Barker, managing director of Bagno Design.
Bagno is committed to provide its customers – be it architects, interior designers or individual home-owners – with top-of-the-range products that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but are also built to last, Barker says.
“We are very proud of our product mix and always strive to make the name Bagno Design synonymous with reliability and customer satisfaction,” he adds. “Be it a free-standing tub for a relaxing bathing experience, a whirlpool system for a spa at home or products encompassing both bathing and showering, Bagno Design’s inspiring showrooms have an extensive offering.”
He continues: “As well as being a purely personal space, the bathroom can also be the most shared space in a house, with a busy family or visiting friends. Hence durability is essential, particularly in hotels and homes.
“Durability of products is particularly pertinent in the Gulf, keeping in mind the transient nature of residents. A property may be inhabited by many different families over its lifespan and will accordingly be subject to more stress.”
In the bathroom sector, Bagno represents Kaldewei, a leading bathtub manufacturer in Europe. “Kaldewei products display an attractive symbiosis of elegant form, functionality and tough resilience, which makes them extremely popular with our discerning customers,” he says.
Elaborating on the European manufacturer’s products, he says: “Kaldewei’s range includes models that suit all shapes and sizes of bathrooms. In addition, new creative solutions for individual bathroom designs are continuously being added.
“Kaldewei – which offers a staggering 30-year guarantee on all its products – has an impressive portfolio of more than 200 different models of bathtub to meet every requirement.
“All Kaldewei bathtubs and shower trays are produced in state-of-the-art production plants at Ahlen in Germany. Kaldewei – the only manufacturer in Europe running its own enamel-developing department and production facility – relies on its own steel enamel, which meets the most demanding of requirements. Kaldewei steel enamel is an ideal material for bathtubs and shower trays, as far as durability, environmental compatibility and easy care are concerned. The abrasion, scratch and impact-resistant material does not leave traces even from cosmetic or medicinal bath preparations. In addition, tiresome cleaning of shower trays and bathtubs are a thing of the past because Kaldewei’s steel enamel features a patented self-cleaning surface finish, where water simply runs off the surface.
“Kaldewei offers pure comfort and luxury through its unique material combination. The Kaldewei-Starylan, for instance, is an innovative compound of steel and acrylic that offers the best of both worlds as it is stable and durable as steel enamel, and as gentle and sensual as acrylic.”
Kaldewei’s brand today stands for whirlpool competence. With its four new Vivo-Whirlpool systems as well as the unique Turbo and Triplus-Systems, Kaldewei is setting the market trend, Barker adds.
Through its two exclusive showrooms in Dubai – at Sheikh Zayed Road and Salahuddin Road – Bagno also promotes cutting-edge products from other renowned manufacturers including Alape, Bertocci, Bossini, Cesana, Cerdomus, Eurobath, Fantini, Galassia, GSI and Zucchetti.
