VitrA’s “Design for All” Approach

Every year VitrA delivers thousands of products

to customers all around the world. From WC pans

to sinks, bathroom furniture to bathtubs and tiles,

VitrA offers users and professionals

every product they need.

VitrA believes that every user deserves the same

level of comfort in the bathroom. We embrace

Design for All principles in our design process to

ensure that our bathrooms achieve this by adapting

to people’s evolving needs throughout their lives.

Accessible, Safe, Functional, Respectful bathroom

design is the core of our approach.

An ageing population is driving the demand for

innovative solutions that support independence

at home for people living with long-term

conditions or disabilities. This guide aims to

raise awareness about what makes bathrooms

accessible and adaptable and to suggest inclusive

and aesthetically pleasing solutions that address

specific needs without stigmatizing anyone.

The following insights are the result of a

collaboration between VitrA and Lab4living based in

the Art and Design Research Centre at Sheffield

Hallam University. Findings have been drawn

from a number of research projects that consider

the changing role and function of the bathroom as

populations age and their needs and desires evolve.

VitrA’s goal is to create a better bathroom experience

for everyone: now and in the future.
