- HEWI-
Barbie™ and HEWI unveil a collaboration centered on a shared goal: design with limitless possibilities. The new Barbie™ × HEWI sanitary collection marries timeless Bauhaus design principles with Barbie™ iconic color palette, creating a series that celebrates individuality and inclusivity. This collection not only sets new standards for bathroom design but embodies the spirit of independence, inspiration, and appreciation for every person’ s uniqueness.
Universal design has always been at the heart of HEWI’ s philosophy. For over 95 years, the company has been crafting products that deliver real value to people. HEWI stands out with premium materials, iconic colors, and simple, intuitive usability. These values shine in the Barbie™ × HEWI collection— a design made accessible to all, regardless of individual needs or abilities.
Barbie™ is the most diverse doll line in the world with more than 175 looks, including body types, skin colors, hairstyles, hair colors, eye colors and visible and nonvisible disabilities. This diversity is reflected in the Barbie™ × HEWI collection, honoring the beauty of uniqueness.
The color pink stands for optimism, self-confidence and hope. In architecture, it is increasingly perceived as a tone that evokes emotions and offers versatile effects. Depending on the setting, pink can be stimulating and inspiring or serve as a calming and harmonizing accent. In the Barbie™ × HEWI
collection, this striking color choice is combined with HEWI’ s minimalist, functional design to create an expressive and innovative synergy.
In the context of“ Healing Architecture” – an approach that emphasizes the restorative impact of spatial design – pink contributes to creating environments that promote openness, warmth, and creativity. The collection integrates seamlessly into a wide range of architectural spaces: from private bathrooms to boutique hotels and public spaces. With its clean design language and distinctive stylistic features, the Barbie™ × HEWI collection demonstrates how design can be not only functional but also emotionally impactful.
The Barbie™ × HEWI collection comprises almost 40 high-quality sanitary products, that blend HEWI’ s iconic design with Barbie™ unmistakable style. From towel holders and soap dispensers to toilet brush sets and folding support rails, the collection offers thoughtful solutions for design-conscious customers seeking to combine functionality and flair. With a fresh color palette, HEWI reimagines its legendary 477 / 801 series, bringing a modern edge and stylish charm to bathroom spaces.
The color range spans elegant pale pink to chic combinations of pale pink, white, and black, offering versatile design possibilities for any bathroom.
