With three new colour concepts, HEWI has given the 477/801 series a different look that appeals to the senses. Colour moves on an emotional level, creates atmosphere, and brings authenticity and individuality to interiors. For HEWI, colour is elementary in adapting a design icon that is virtually perfect in terms of design and function to current trends and in increasing the scope for design in planning. Maintaining icon status has a high priority at HEWI. There are thus three new colour editions for the 477/801 series. The new tricolour colour canon for healthcare buildings in the care sector comprises the vitalising shades coral, aqua blue, and pure white. HEWI presents the editions apple green, may green, and coral as well as aqua blue, steel blue, and apple green especially for children’s hospitals, nurseries and kindergartens – soft, calming, and harmonising tones.
The targeted use of colour makes it possible to influence the feeling of well-being in a room. In healthcare facilities and daycare centres, colour therefore plays a special role in promoting recovery processes, conveying a feeling of security, and creating a relaxing and stress-free environment. In recent years, a discussion has been initiated on this subject under the concept of “Healing Architecture”, which is highly relevant for HEWI as one of the leading international experts in the field of accessible sanitary fittings. The interaction of people and their surroundings as well as the healing and regenerative aspects of design have thus been incorporated into the colour concepts of the 477/801 series.
