The Aliaxis Group, a global business (14.000 employees), specialised in plastic piping & sanitary systems has become a friend of Design Academy Eindhoven.
Rob Melk, responsible for Sanitary Systems within Aliaxis points out that harmonious design & eco-friendly solutions are becoming increasingly important for bathroom products like flushing systems, traps and shower drains.
In the next four years students from the department Man and Activity,
Design Academy Eindhoven will run projects along the theme the “bathroom of the future”. The first project initiated this year will be focussing on the toilet function within the total “eco-system” of bathrooms in Europe. Functional Eco-solutions as water- and energy saving will have to go hand in hand with harmonious bathroom product designs providing maximum wellness to the user.
