“We follow old traditions in the bath, and use it to organise our thoughts,” is Ettore Sottsass’s formulation of the basic principle behind his co-operation with Franz Kaldewei GmbH & Co. KG. The focus is on the practical application of the individual objects. For many years, the people at Ahlen have used the timeless and impressive designs by the Sottsass Associati design studio; the spirit of its late founder, Ettore Sottsass, who died on 31.12.2007, lives on in its many superlative products.
