Central to creating Kaldewei’s premium Iconic Bathroom Solutions are collaborations with respected designers such as Arik Levy. Already the recipient of multiple awards for his inspired Meisterstück Emerso bath and washbasin in collaboration with Kaldewei, Arik Levy’s exceptional contributions to design have cemented his place among the best. In recognition of his work, he was presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Designer Kitchen & Bathroom Awards 2019 last month.
In partnering with Kaldewei, Arik Levy employed his versatility as a designer and rose to the challenge of working with Kaldewei’s iconic material, steel enamel. A combination of functionality and beauty, the result is a unique freestanding bath, its rim designed to curve in on itself in a way which is reminiscent of the water it holds, alongside a matching washbasin with a design inverse to that of the bath.
“Compared with other materials with which I work, steel enamel is longer lasting, the surface is non-porous, and it is the epitome of sustainability. Those who make products from this material strive to create something perfect, something that lasts – and that applies equally to Kaldewei and to me.” Arik Levy
