The legendary modern design school continues to have an impact today: HEWI's design language is entirely in the tradition of the Bauhaus design maxim. Contemporary and timeless design, a design language reduced to the essentials and the conscious use of color connect HEWI closely with the Bauhaus. The consistent search for new paths is characteristic of HEWI. This results in surprising, innovative solutions that go far beyond conventional approaches.
Since it was founded in 1929, HEWI has developed into a system provider for comprehensive solutions in the areas of building hardware, sanitary accessories and barrier-free products. Because society is changing – and with it the demands on architecture and product design.
In accordance with universal design and a sustainable, holistic design philosophy, HEWI has been focusing on the individual needs of people for more than 90 years. Numerous awards underline the pioneering role of the company - including the Universal Design Award "Best of Decade", which HEWI received for outstanding achievements in the field of universal design, the Architects' Darling, the German Design Awards and last but not least the Iconic Awards. For HEWI, these awards are not only an appreciation for the commitment in the past, but also an incentive for the future to continue to lead the way and to develop innovative solutions.
We are proud of our decades of experience, of constant innovation, of our in-depth understanding of shapes, colors and materials, and of our impeccable product development, which always keeps an eye on people's needs. As a result, HEWI has not only become the market leader in the area of accessibility, but also a recognized expert in system design.
