Classic Duo Oval Wide – timeless elegance with an individual touch

New free-standing oval bath with spacious bath rim

Ahlen, September 2010. – Kaldewei has expanded its Classic Duo family of products even more: the new model – Classic Duo Oval Wide – increases the range with immediate effect by a free-standing model with an especially wide bath rim, providing additional design scope when creating high-quality bathrooms. With its Classic Duo family of baths, Kaldewei is once again providing the perfect combination of classic elegance and purist design.

New bath provides individual design freedom

“Homing”, furnishing one’s home as a peaceful retreat from the hectic outside world and the often stressful work routine, is the latest fashion. Free-standing baths create visual highlights and provide individual design freedom. Kaldewei has now expanded its range of free-standing baths with the Classic Duo Oval Wide. The new model belongs to the Classic Duo family of baths and is thus available with elegant one-piece panelling. This emphasises the high design standard, harmonises perfectly with the classic form of the bath and provides complete freedom when positioning the bath in the room. The spacious design of the bath rim means rim-mounted fittings can be positioned to suit individual preferences.

With its generous dimensions of 180 x 80 centimetres, the Classic Duo Oval Wide in robust 3.5 mm Kaldewei steel bath enamel provides boundless bathing pleasure– alone or with a partner. This is made possible by the design of its interior, where two identical back rests and centre outlet invite bathers to share a luxurious bath with a partner. Timeless, balanced form combined with individual design freedom: the Kaldewei Classic Duo Oval Wide gives every bathroom its very own character.
