Roca’s Spanish Showroom

November 11th, 2009

Celebrating their 100^th anniversary, Roca has opened a stunning new bathroom gallery in Barcelona, Spain.

Open to the city and beyond, the Roca Gallery, which is encased within a striking architectural design, transports the viewer into the world of the bathroom.

The gallery, also referred to as the ‘Triple Espacio’ (‘Triple Space’), is a unique structure made completely from glass.

The technological concept of the structure literally shines by night, as the whole building is illuminated by hundreds of LEDs which distort the interiors in an eye-catching display of visual effects.

Depending on the daylight, the interiors portray an array of visual effects.

The gallery is a highly interactive space with interior audiovisual and sound systems which communicate Roca’s commitment to sustainability and reducing water consumption.

Futuristic in style, the gallery features touch screens, visual tours of bathrooms, three-dimensional projections and touch sensitive tables, enabling Roca to communicate in an innovative manner.

The opening of the Roca Gallery, in line with their 100^th year of bathroom excellence, exemplifies the Roca brand and celebrates its most recent achievements.

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.

The uncharted plate: Ivan Brehm’s pursuit of crossroads cooking with Gaggenau and human connection.

In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.
