Marmite showroom

Marmite showroom

Marmite has more than four decades of experience manufacturing and designing washbasins, shower trays, and bathtubs made of their trademark mineral composite. At the core of the company’s philosophy rests not only the attention to aesthetics and focus on sustainability but also the importance of continuous development and collaboration with clients.

The company turned to mode:lina™ studio asking for the design of a new framework for showcasing its impressive collection within the existing showroom space.

“Marmite showroom is where we collaborate with our clients”

The said space, conveniently adjacent to the production plant, performs a double function. First, it serves as an exhibition area of various bathroom forms enabling customers to experience Marmite products firsthand. As such, it borrows from the industrial aesthetics of the neighbouring factory interiors. Second, and all the more: the showroom is an educational space, a place to learn about the customer’s needs and to work together on design solutions. As such, it follows the repeated statement by the company’s representatives: “Marmite showroom is where we collaborate with our clients.”

This consistently implemented practice to engage both sides in the process of working on the product became an inspiration to design a place where both designers and clients will find all the tools necessary to learn and understand the advantages of using mineral composite. The place where ideas creatively collide with materials. A clear reference to this collaborative space and simultaneously the beating heart of the showroom is the maker’s workshop.

Three zones, separated by stylised workshop shelves

Following the artisanal idea for the space, the new Marmite showroom project consists of three areas sectionalised by workshop-style racks: the work on the product area, the assembly possibilities area, and the hall of fame or the product display area.

Transitions from one area to another are signalled by wall openings painted in a deep red that contrasts with the light raw wood of workshop racks and makes an engaging background for the display of white composite bathroom products. Red accents are also to be found on the floors – indicating the rectangular working space in the “workshop” areas and the showcasing circle in the “exhibition” area.
