May 28th, 2014


The Caroma Marc Newson Bathroom Collection by GWA Bathrooms & Kitchens and Marc Newson Limited is a unique design collaboration between Australia’s foremost industrial designer and Australia’s market leader in bathrooms.  The design brief required a new approach in the design of a complete Caroma bathroom collection consisting of 22-pieces, which includes toilets, tapware, showers, baths and a urinal.  From the start of the project, Marc Newson and Caroma undertook an iterative and rigorous design and engineering program to solve numerous engineering challenges resulting in patented installation technology.  Throughout the project, Caroma’s development team was focused on retaining Marc Newson’s design intent for all products, ensuring an excellent outcome.
