Rocell, the name that has been synonymous with exquisitely beautiful designer tiles and sanitary ware for many decades, recently opened the doors to a uniquely novel experience with the launch of The Rocell Bathware Design Hub in Nawala.
Set to be the dream destination for designers, architects, contractors and discerning customers alike, this one-of-a-kind, cutting edge showroom concept offers an experience beyond words where unimagined ideas take over your imagination, and designing the interiors of your home will never be the same again.
Comprising five aesthetically laid out levels, The Design Hub offers a comprehensive range of international designer products, layout ideas and interior concepts to choose from. The ground floor features a stunning range of designer bathware created in collaboration with three internationally acclaimed designers of Italian origin, Stefano Giovannoni, Carlo Urbinati and Simone Cagnazzo.
Giovannoni, the mastermind behind Rocell’s SLIDE bathware collection, is a Professor of Industrial Design at Domus Academy in Milan, Università del Progetto in Reggio Emilia and Università di Architettura in Genoa. An award-winning designer in his own right, Giovannoni has a foot in both the artistic and technological worlds, and his visionary work can be found in major museums around the world.
Considered a maestro of Italian artistry, Urbinatiis inspired both by the historic renaissance culture as well as contemporary art forms. And this influence is pronounced in Rocell’s AZZA bathware collection. His exquisite creations are revered as masterpieces in the world of design, though currently, he concentrates his studies on plastic material and works with many international companies.
Rocell’s GIULY bathware collection was conceived by Cagnazzo, aformer Matteo Thun & Partners Senior Designer who hasgained international acclaim for his work with exclusive brands such as Porsche Design, Catalano, Brunner, Jado, Siemens, Swarovski and much more. Today, he reimagined the concept of retail, going beyond the norms of an in-store showroom experience.
The first floor exclusively features ‘Dunes’ by Cagnazzo, a beautiful bathware exhibit inspired by the sinuous beauty of the desert. On the second floor you’ll find an extensive range of stunning accessories, hydrospa bathtubs, Swedish saunas and rain showers by Teuco, an Italian brand that has fast become one of the world leaders in wellbeing by focusing on the perfect bath experience. Additionally, the second floor also spotlights a striking and award-winning range of innovative and technologically advanced showers and faucets by Grohe, that bear the badge of quality ‘Made in Germany’ and are renowned the world over.
The awe-inspiring tile gallery is located on the 3rd floor, displaying a breathtaking range of tiles to choose from. And the rooftop offers a delightful surprise in the form of product in motion where a range of Whirlpools and outdoor relaxation ideas have been fitted to present their proper look.
The Rocell Bathware Design Hub offers the ultimate experience of designer concepts in a cutting edge, trendy setting and has been conceptualised and designed by world-renowned Italian designer, Simone Cagnazzo.
