Interview with Bathco

An important part of Bathco business strategy is the permanent dedication to invest in design, quality and innovation. Based on these three pillars we develop constantly new products in order to resolve customer needs and to adjust us to the tendency changes of the market.

We chose Design as a way of life, voluntary.

We usually design washbasins, furniture – cabinets, tops, etc. –, bathtubs, shower trays and mixers.

Work hardly and look for the inspiration everywhere.

The satisfaction of doing a good work.

The usability and the way that this design improve our life.

The best value is the permanence.

A sanitary ware that would be installed everywhere without using water.

We live in a society with great problems, then, we would like to create a bathroom accessory that could make us smile.

Work, work and work.

Gaudí was a genius, Breuer because of his functionality, Arne Jacobsen…

All pieces of Gaudí, the Spanish invention: broom, Ant chair…

Icon washbasin of course.

Drawing every day and every night until getting a good design and after that, try to improve it.

Maybe I would be musician. I love listening music and I compose sometimes.

The fusion of functionality, aesthetics and technology.

Our colleagues are the best help for us because we make a good team. Each one has different strengths and we create an enriched atmosphere.

My positive ambitious

Competition but we realized that this is the best way to improve our projects.

Designers must present their projects in a way that understands what they have wanted to convey.

We have different opened projects but nothing specific.

We have created a new series of stone washbasins that join to Natural Series collection. After the investigation of its possibilities through a laborious process, we have achieved profiles determined by their visual lightness.

Constant innovation.

Good designs can facilitate our life quality: shaving time and using only necessary resources.

We personalize spaces through hand painted porcelain.

We are proud of all our projects.

Environmental awareness

It is going to be focused on third world.

From one month until a year, it depends on the time and the difficulty.

We usually do a brainstorming

Today is the day

A good design is not born from the trends, it is something alien to them.

It is a pillar.

3ds max and Autocad

The colour is important but the material is essential.

Why didn´t you invent it before?

When we think that our sons and daughters could use it.

My colleagues, we have created great products. Absolutely, we think that this is the best option.

Everybody who visit our company – friends, visitors, clients…- always give us an idea or a tip.

Sci-fi and comics.

As I answered before: working, working and working.

With a person in the future who can tell me how is his or her life.

We feel proud of this award because it reflects our efforts.

Green, the green that we find in the fields of the North of Spain. Grandmother´s food. Every seasons. Our brand: Bathco.

I don´t know.

We feel motivated when our Atelier is full of life and light.

Of course, all kind of support was a good option to create ideas.

We hope that our common sense generate a better society and we could live peacefully.

We are proud of Spanish design.

Nowadays, looking back at the past, we are proud of being present in the five continents. The secret may have been the fact of incorporate the latest technology in our work but without forgetting our roots.
Today more than ever, we have an eye to the future; a future full of opportunities in which we want to continue growing thanks to the knowledge gained day after day and which is still increasing.

An important part of Bathco business strategy is the permanent dedication to invest in design, quality and innovation.

If a design cover some of our need, it is a good design.

More specialization, better results.

Our last exhibition: ISH at Frankfurt, Germany. Next exhibition: Project Lebanon at Beirut, Lebanon.

Picasso said: “When inspiration comes, let me find myself working”.

We keep up with last trends in interior design and decoration around the world because we have a wide variety of clients. We try to adapt our designs to all of these tastes. On the other hand, we design to satisfy needs in the bathroom.

We live in Santander (Cantabria), it is a little city located in the North of Spain. Cantabria is a region situated between the mountains “Picos de Europa” and Cantabrian Sea, wherever you are you will see incredible views and very inspirational.
We have two ways of getting inspiration: going to a peaceful place and think about new ideas or going to a different cultural activities celebrated in the city: exhibitions, performance, events, etc.
Spanish heritage influences our designs but our company is present in more than 70 countries, then we must adapt our products to every cultures.

We work with other designers and other companies as if they were colleagues because we have a common target.

A good portfolio is the best representation.

Our company makes a big investment in the research of new materials as well as in design and development of bath articles which offer new possibilities to the users.
The aim of the project I+D+I is to develop an innovative material which allows the manufacturing of a high-end sanitary ware that will be waterproof, resistant, lightweight, with a natural finish and developed in Cantabria. This new exclusive range will encourage the Bathco international leading position in the bathroom sector.

Chairs, shower trays, PC, lamps and couch.

Monotony has a grateful face because it is the result of experience and hard work. We try to combine our work with our personal life thanks to a comfortable timetable. Our tasks are very similar every day:
Checking the email, researching of new materials, drawing…

Fight to get your dreams, don´t wait for chances, look for that!!

Everything is positive, nothing is negative.

Work, work and work.

Hard-worker and imaginative.

3d software, design platforms and social media.

The experience is the best way to avoid lost time. We try to have productive brainstorming and organize our tasks. When a member has a problem, the team think about it and resolve the question and we go on together.

It depends on the design, some products are developed in a month and others in a year… The client or the market mark the deadline.

If I had to use this product, what I would need?

The current project because is the result of every last experiences.

Interior designers, architects…

We love design washbasin because this is a piece that everybody use every day. Probably, the washbasin is the first product you see each day when you woke up.

Our company makes a big investment in the research of new materials as well as in design and development of bath articles which offer new possibilities to the users.

We always work as a team.

We are working in a series of microcement washbasin.
