Trendbook Marmite

II TREND RECONNECTING WITH NATURE

below we present the most important, in our opinion, current trends in bathroom design. They were selected by carefully examining the international market and analysing its state. We believe that styles and design trends are a response to the surrounding reality, and that’s why collecting information about changes as well as observing consumer behaviour and preferences are key to meeting the market needs. The following pages contain more details on how these trends can be manifested in interiors, as well as our advice on which Marmite products fit best with them. Please keep in mind that these are just some examples – the company’s wide range provides countless configuration options, further enhanced by 300 new designs each year. The creation process of our products is distinguished by great passion, commitment and respect for the environment. These values are appreciated by our customers and noticed by the market, as evidenced by the numerous design awards we have won, including: "Red Dot Design Award", "If Design Award", "German Design Award", "Top Design Award" as well as "Must Have" and "Good Design".

WE ARE CLOSE TO THE CUSTOMER 4 INTERVIEW

What technologies belong to the future and what is the role of the fair in creating trends and in working with clients on new projects, says Magdalena Musiał, Industrial Design Manager at Marmite. – Trade fairs are a powerful promotional tool. What are the benefits of participating in them for manufacturers and designers? Trade fairs invariably play a very important role in our industry. Being able to see so many products in such a diverse context is key to understanding what’s really going on in the world of design. – I suspect that from the designer’s point of view, it is of particular importance to be able to track the reactions of trade fair visitors to the presented products “live”. It really is. Trade fairs are ideal for assessing what really attracts the customer’s attention. They create a space where the interactions between the product and its future recipient can be clearly observed. From a designer’s perspective, this is invaluable. – Do you often come to trade fairs together with your clients? We do that often. In the environment of so many different products, it is easier for the customer to talk about his visions and expectations. – The fair is about news, premieres, presentations... Can they still surprise you? Of course. I can mention, for example, the last fair in Milan, which still plays a leading role when it comes to acquiring knowledge about new trends. What was immediately noticeable is the popularity of materials inspired or related to nature. There was a lot of rattan, textures. It is clearly noticeable that we are moving away from a uniform, smooth finish in favour of materials that attract attention not only with colour, but also texture. We are looking for a sort of three‑dimensionality of products, depth. As a designer interested in new trends, I pay attention to two aspects. One is strictly visual. In this case, it’s about a trend understood as the materialization of human longings. It is apparent that we miss soft, natural forms. We also miss colours. And it all surfaced at the Milan fair. The second aspect is about exceeding production capacity. It is extremely interesting how new technologies fit in with people’s expectations. – By observing the exhibitors’ offers, can you immediately assess what will soon become the current trend? It is extremely difficult to define. There is always a group of “crazy” products at the fair. Producers experiment by conducting a kind of research among customers. This is a common practice in every industry – at fashion shows we see many outfits that none of us will ever wear, concept cars are shown at motor shows that will never be put on the streets in this form. Trade fairs are a barometer of moods, an opportunity to talk about a physically existing object, not an abstract idea. Only the market really 5 INTERVIEW

verifies whether something will be accepted or not. When a given solution appears at several exhibitors, we are more sure that it will turn into a trend. But there are also innovative, unique products that later create trends. – As designers, are you more likely to encourage the producers you work with to experiment, or do you advise them against it? It seems to me that recently we have been turning more and more boldly towards innovative solutions. Of course, the uniqueness of a product cannot stem only from its visual aspects. It is also worth having some added, functional or technological value behind it. Do we encourage our clients to do so? If we see a deeper meaning in it, then we do so. We often come up with a product proposition. We invest our resources to prove that you can create something truly innovative. – Is it easy to reconcile the knowledge gained at the fair with the expectations of customers? How to convince a potential client to trust you and take advantage of your knowledge? Many of our clients are really deeply aware of the current trends. There are clients who come to us with a specific idea. Then we adjust it to our technological capabilities. There are also clients who do not fully know what is – colloquially speaking – going on. Then we, based on our experiences, create a specific proposal for them. At the same time, it should not be forgotten that we live in a time of dynamic changes. Once the trends lasted for years, now they are changing rapidly. Fortunately, our technology allows us to react quickly and adapt to these changes. I think customers see this as our enormous value. We are able to easily deliver something that is innovative, fits in with the current trends, and is also specific to a given client. – How durable are the current trends? The lifespan of the current trends is much shorter than a few years ago. An example is the loft trend. Although it is still in operation, you can see that it is already ending. We are moving away from simple shapes and raw forms in favour of soft lines and textures. We are bored with gray and we focus on colours more and more boldly. Of course, we still use styles that were fashionable in the past. An example is the enormous popularity of postmodern forms. However, keep in mind that they are not a simple “grab from the past”, but instead a creative interpretation. After all, we have 6 INTERVIEW

new machines, technologies and materials at our disposal. New technologies, including 3D printing, are entering the game. Thanks to them, our creation becomes practically unlimited. 3D software is getting better at various aspects of surface design. Added to this is the Internet of Things. Soon, at every step, objects will talk to us, they will inform us and force us to specific activities. – How often do you persuade your client to buy a product that is more innovative, matching the trends than the one he initially wanted to implement? Sometimes a customer comes with a project that has been known on the market for many years, but needs to be refreshed due to falling sales. Then we convince him to change, showing the latest trends and competition analysis. At the same time, we prove that the new collection will have a positive impact on the sales of the other ones. We urge the client to leave his comfort zone. I believe that the greatest value of our design team is that we are always close to the client and recipient of the final product. We define the needs of both of them and try to include them in a given product. 7 INTERVIEW

FLEXIBLE, FAST AND IN LINE WITH TRENDS INTERVIEW 8

Krzysztof Nowak, New Product Development & Innovation Manager at the company, talks about the process and stages of creating trend products and about the technological possibilities offered by Marmite production lines. – How does Marmite technology support the emergence of trend products? It can be said that design trends determine what our technology and production processes look like. Following them, apart from taking care of costs and broadly understood “sustainability”, is what shapes Marmite to a large extent. The implemen‑ tation of new colours, textures, the search for the thinnest or thickest available wall, work on complex shapes of products, etc. is what significantly influences the direction of development of production lines. A unique feature of our production processes and technologies is also high flexibility. We are able to meet the needs of large customers – e.g. leading DIY chains – for quick implementation and swift delivery of the first order, which is usually the largest one, because the customer has to stock up all supermarkets. It can be even tens of thousands of pieces. Most likely, no other manufacturer in this category can do this faster than Marmite. At the same time, our technology allows us to fulfil orders for single items – if there is such a need. – Do you develop production processes by conducting research and development? Yes of course. We can divide them into two types – proactive and those corresponding to the current needs of a given client. An example of a proactive and successfully implemented development project is the unique overflow system integrated in the bathtubs. Currently, the vast majority of our bathtubs are equipped with this system. It turned out to be a great market success. Many of our new solutions have been initiated by customers who report their needs to us. And this is how we work, among others on the development of new shower tray textures in line with the latest trends and on the technology enabling the extension of the colour spectrum of products. Thanks to the search for new painting techniques, we will be able to introduce a large range of new and demanding colours. – Clients come to you with ready projects. How do you adapt projects to technological possibilities and make sure they do not lose their original character? Many of the clients we work with know our technological requirements, so sometimes we get drawings that are practically ready for implementation. But despite everything, we also always create our own documentation. Part of our design process is a stage which we call Production Feasibility. It consists in consulting and analysing the designed product by a team associated with the production on a daily basis – technology specialists, process engineers, quality specialists, etc. This allows us to eliminate as many errors as 9 INTERVIEW

possible at an early stage and make sure that the product will not cause problems in commercial order fulfilment. This easily translates into costs, timeliness and general customer satisfaction with the cooperation. Of course, the guiding principle and the daily challenge of our designers is to keep the unique features of a given design and at the same time adapt it to our technology. To make sure that we succeed, each product – its 3D model and technical drawing – after the design phase is sent to the customer for final approval or gathering comments for further design work. When the client is not sure if what he sees in the flat drawing and/or in the 3D model is what he or she wants, we can propose a prototype. It is very similar to the finished product. This makes it much easier for customers to make decisions. Finally, we can also prepare the project completely from scratch. We go to fairs, we follow trends, we know the market. So if a customer requests a new design, we can – of course, in consultation with him – develop the design of such a product. We have full possibilities in this regard. – When a new design is ready and accepted by the customer – how far is it from the sketch to the customer’s warehouse? What are the different stages and how long do they last? How long does the customer wait for the product? We have our standard process that we can break down into steps. The first one lasts from the customer’s request to the preparation of our offer, i.e. a 3D model, technical drawing with a quote. It takes two weeks. Then, after the customer accepts the offer, the second stage begins – testing and implementation. During this time, we prepare and deliver to the customer the first production unit, the so‑called Initial Sample. This stage lasts 8 weeks for washbasins, 10 weeks for shower trays and 12 weeks for bathtubs. After accepting the Initial Sample, we receive a commercial order. Then the third and final stage begins. Completion of the order usually takes up to 4 weeks. This is usually indicative, because almost every implementation is different and largely depends on the specificity of the client. – How many designs are produced annually in Marmite studios? What is the efficiency and capabilities of the company’s production lines? In 2021, we implemented over 70 products proactively and over 200 products in cooperation with customers, where they were the initiators of the implementation. The production capacity of all Marmite lines is 2 million units per year. – And finally – in what direction will Marmite’s production technologies develop in the near future? What are the current trends in this area? Ecology is a trend that affects us more and more. So we are also developing in this direction. We have introduced recycled raw materials into production. The packaging of our products must also be ecological. If we use plastic for packaging – at least 50% of it must be recycled. We also have a few inquiries as to whether we can use waste from other technologies – e.g. ceramics, in the production process. I think that technological trends will develop in this direction – the use of waste in production. Marmite, of course, keeps an eye on this trend. We support and implement ecological solutions. We perfectly understand that care for the environment is our shared responsibility and priority. 10 INTERVIEW

SANCTUARY OF PEACE

Home gives us a sense of safety, it surrounds us with peace, and it can even be a form of therapy. That’s where we find shelter, regain our inner balance and achieve tranquillity. Comfortable, safe, and at the same time stylish interiors improve our state of mind and soothe our souls. The feeling of comfort often comes from materials, lighting and equipment. That is why we arrange light, airy space which gives a sense of freedom and the opportunity to take a deep breath. We focus on minimalist interiors in which we avoid being surrounded by unnecessary things. There is no place for random elements or clutter that disturbs the inner peace of the inhabitants. Convenient and practical solutions, as well as modern technologies, allow you to keep your home neat and tidy. They have a harmonious effect on the interior and make rest, work and sleep proceed without any disruptions. Elements from the natural world also help to build a home oasis of comfort. Eco‑design restores our balance, soothes our nerves, inspires us, improves creativity and reduces stress. The feeling of comfort and balance is built by light forms, soft textures and subtle, natural colours. By combining all the elements carefully and thoughtfully, we can achieve a state of inner harmony every day. Home asylum This applies to a large extent to the arrangement of bathrooms, which have long ceased to be rooms of solely hygienic and sanitary purpose, but have become a place of well‑being and relaxation, and can even be called an everyday sanctuary. Today, a bathroom decorated like a home SPA is definitely not enough to offer enough comfort and convenience. Sophisticated designs and interior arrangements designed for relaxation, have ergonomic equipment. The beginning of the road to bliss is a carefully thought‑out choice. Ergonomic bathtubs profiled at the optimal angle of support and length, shower trays installed flush with the floor, unobtrusively blending into the space, wide comfortable washbasins and subtle, delicate lines of products create the perfect setting for relaxation. Functional and eco Convenience is ensured by innovative solutions, but also ecological, friendly materials. They should take care of all aspects of our well‑being. Be functional – for example mute the sound of falling water, but also natural and ecological, i.e. friendly to our health and the planet. Features like antibacterial surfaces, which can be cleaned with mild agents, are typical advantages of premium materials. Their durability and resistance to impact or loss of gloss, and in the event of an accident, ease of repair, are also important. Since our mental, inner peace revolves not only around functionality and aesthetics, but also sensual impressions, the materials should be also pleasant to the touch. Only all these combined elements ensure our well‑being and comfort. 15 TREND SANCTUARY OF PEACE

16 In the bathroom, we always longed for soft, natural forms inspired by nature. At the same time, we need ergonomics and comfort that nature itself cannot provide. For years, Marmite designers have been creating products that combine these features. We have models of bathtubs with wonderfully oval forms that have been enjoying unflagging popularity for over 15 years! We regularly revaluate their geometry, modifying sizes or refining the smallest lines. In the design process, we follow nature, but we also improve it.

How do you recognize Marmite products that follow this trend? They are distinguished by their rounded design – so look for soft, rounded lines of washbasins and bathtubs. Their features include ergonomic and a well‑thought ‑out size that matches the bathroom surface and guarantees users’ comfort. These are, for example, extremely comfortable washbasins that allow you to wash freely, without splashing too much water. It is also the shower trays which are installed flush with the floor, allowing them to seamlessly integrate with the surroundings. They have a non‑slip surface, an integrated drain and no edges. They are distinguished by subtly finished elements, such as the integrated linear overflow or the cover made of Mineral Composite material, which nearly blends into the product. • • • • • • The Mineral Composite material used by Marmite makes our bathtubs, washbasins and shower trays pleasant to the touch and smooth, and reduces the sound of falling water. They are safe because they have antibacterial and anti‑slip surfaces. They maintain the right bath temperature for longer and are durable and resistant to damage. We can certainly include among them the most comfortable bathtubs. They are profiled to ensure an optimal bathing experience. They ensure adequate back support, allow you to straighten your legs, and their depth ensures the best possible submersion of the body. They have a delicately marked outflow that does not affect the comfort of bathing. In the case of a bathtub for two people, they provide equally profiled back support and a drain in the middle of the bathtub. 18 BT 0538 1680 INT TREND SANCTUARY OF PEACE

DYNAMIC FUNCTIONALITY

In the urban world of the 21st century, we live fast and intensely, and the spaces we live in reflect that lifestyle. They need not only to be tailored to individual needs but also to adapt and evolve with them. Their functionality is important, but so is their design. Fortunately, today we do not have to compromise on aesthetics at the expense of comfort. City life is still gaining momentum. Time and space become luxury goods whose price is rising. One of the challenges of today is to generate a comfortable space in a limited urban area. This applies primarily to the world's great metropolises, but also to smaller cities, where every square meter is worth its weight in gold. Although our living space is decreasing, we do not give up on city life, which tempts with attractive job offers, rich infrastructure and numerous attractions. Vibrant colours, surreal sceneries and abstract spaces attract and inspire – that is true also in interior design. Urban pace We want to capture at least some of this magic element in our personal space. Hence, in the interiors, we find leitmotifs in the form of specific, saturated colours and textures. It is thanks to them that the home space gains an additional dimension. Strong, bold colours, also in dark shades, characteristic graphic motifs transferred from street art, large formats and clear contrasts create an urban atmosphere in the interior, which becomes an element of the game played between what is inside and what is already outside. The arrangement possibilities seem to be endless here, and innovative technologies and new materials unleash creativity. Compact and convenient The most important, however, seems to be the fact that flats and apartments evolve in line with expectations and depending on the needs of the owners. Their décor is dynamic, tailored to the current requirements of the residents, but also the available space. Reasonable space management is the key to understanding the urban style. Hence, the price includes solutions that personalize interiors not only in terms of aesthetics but also the functionality. The modularity of the furniture, the multi‑functionality of space and the compact size of the equipment become particularly important when we need to arrange a small space in which different functionalities have to coexist. Such solutions allow you to effectively manage any space and easily change it as you go. Tailored to the user Made‑to‑measure products play an important role here – but not ones crafted for an individual order, but available in the permanent offer of manufacturers, such as shower trays, which can be cut to the size of the cabin at home. Modern, hybrid solutions that combine many functions in one are also appreciated. A towel holder next to the washbasin, or integrated with it, and at the same time comfortable to use large storage areas allow you to optimally use the available space. A sophisticated design, made possible by the flexibility of modern materials, and a wide range of models available in the same design line, provide virtually unlimited room for arrangement. Thanks to the multitude of available sizes, types of finishes, but also additional functionalities, the selected product can be easily introduced into the available space. 21 TREND DYNAMIC FUNCTIONALITY

22 Small can be convenient. Customers from virtually all markets, except the USA and Germany, are looking for products for small bathrooms. Hence the popularity of small and back to wall bathtubs – the most popular ones on our offer are 150–160 cm long. However, they remain very comfortable. This is due to the appropriate proportions between the width and length, the appropriate inclination of the walls or the interior’s shape. Small bathtubs are comfortable and ergonomic, and at the same time provide freedom in bathroom arrangement. Therefore, customers are eager to choose them.

24 How do you recognize Marmite products that follow this trend? They have features that reflect the pace of urban life, such as multi‑functionality or compact sizes that fit small bathrooms in apartment blocks. This includes, for example, washbasins integrated with a towel holder, or compact bathtubs with the possibility of placing them against the wall. Their main characteristic is flexibility. Look for shower trays that can be cut to size and shape, or washbasins with increased storage space and the option of placing the bowl on the right or left side. They are distinguished by intense, modern colours, such as black, blue or terracotta. They are exceptionally practical. Marmite's Mineral Composite material ensures product durability and easy repair. Moreover, it enables the transfer of e.g. a washbasin to another bathroom. This corresponds to the popularizing nomadic lifestyle of city dwellers. They guarantee maximum safety. Such features of the material as antibacterial or anti‑slip are the standard in a modern bathroom. • • • • • BT 0069 1680 INT TREND DYNAMIC FUNCTIONALITY

RECONNECTING WITH NATURE

These days, many of us yearn for a closer contact with nature - we look for ways of rebuilding that special bond. We go on a journey to its bosom with a baggage full of experiences, with respect for the world around us and with a high ecological awareness. We start that adventure inside ourselves, or rather inside our homes. Natural materials have always been present in interior design. Sometimes associated with luxury and abundance, especially when we think of wooden furniture or marble floors decorating historic palaces or luxurious residences. Sometimes on the contrary ‑ with the strict simplicity of very modest interiors. Today they are interpreted as a symbol of a bond with what is primal, perfect, permanent and unchanging. Nature gives us not only a sense of peace, harmony and balance but also the most perfect role model. Design can be a way to reconnect with nature. Reaching for natural inspirations in interior design, we find what is basic, universal and timeless. Natural rhythm The trend of decorating interiors inspired by nature is becoming more and more popular every year. Beiges and browns oscillating in the earth colour palette, tiles with a wood decor imitating floorboards, and finally, conglomerates and quartzes imitating natural stones are surfaces and materials very closely related to nature. With the outbreak and limitations of the pandemic, the need for contact with nature has increased significantly. However, this can be achieved not only by escaping from the city to the bosom of nature, but also by adjusting the former so that we can live in it in symbiosis. Longing for nature, we create a home whose heart beats slower ‑ in a natural rhythm. We pay attention to its equipment, carefully selecting items that stay with us for longer. We choose authenticity over glitz and superficiality. This also applies to bathroom spaces. Biophilic textures and patterns Wood, natural stone, but also materials imitating their unique pattern, are the basis for creating a bathroom in a natural style. There is a beauty in nature that, thanks to new technologies, can be transferred to everyday life. The unique grain of the wood, the unique use of marble, but also blemishes such as knots, scratches and cracks and other textures, thanks to the technology, can be transferred to the surface with extraordinary precision. In search of natural inspiration, we reach for biomorphic forms and patterns. They symbolically refer to shapes, textures and motifs found in nature. The organic lines and shapes perfectly mimic the creative power of nature. They are emphasized by deliberately non‑perfect surfaces that look raw, but at the same time perfectly made. Deprived of ornaments and unnecessary glitz, through their matte finishes they fully show the natural beauty of the raw materials from which they were made ‑ natural or innovative, obtained from natural components. Those that are part of the sustainable development trend. Their creation is facilitated by advanced and at the same time energy‑saving technological processes. They are ecological and environmentally friendly already at the production stage, but also repairable and recyclable, and can be easily reused if necessary. The use of materials derived from nature, but only minimally processed, emphasizes their authenticity. This in turn allows you to create an almost natural environment in the interior. 27 TREND RECONNECTING WITH NATURE

28 Textures are conquering bathrooms. The wood in the furniture and the textures on the tiles interpenetrate and create a sensual synergy. We can see that customers appreciate the patterns and textures of stone and slate more and more. They give the feeling of reaching for the essence of nature. That is why our bathtubs, washbasins and shower trays perfectly interpret the unconventional nature of this material. They are also pleasant to touch. That’s because we know that stone textures for bathrooms need to be processed as if their natural irregularities were smoothed out by flowing water.

30 The soft, delicate lines of equipment will refer to organic shapes found in nature. Associations with the aesthetic peace of nature, evoke matte, “warm” finishes and balanced, ergonomic forms of products. References to nature are made possible by the Mineral Composite material, the composition of which is 75% natural dolomite stone. In addition, the properties of this composite allow it to reproduce the texture of stone or wood. The colours of the products that fit into the earthy colour palette will make you feel closer to nature. White, grey, beige and black dominate here. Importantly, Mineral Composite is created through an environmentally friendly production process. The material itself is also ecological ‑ durable and easy to repair in case of damage. After use, it can be recycled. How do you recognize Marmite products that follow this trend? • • • • • BT 0543 1400 INT TREND RECONNECTING WITH NATURE

BEYOND THE LIMITS

To express our individualism, creativity and artistic flair, we reach for unconventional solutions, sometimes even works of art, we mix styles. Above all, we value freedom of choice. Sometimes, our need to express our own individuality prompts us to reach for unusual solutions in the interiors of our apartments. This happens when our personal search for aesthetics and attempts to express ourselves take over, which translates into the decor of our apartments. My space That’s when we adopt the lack of rules as the main principle, and the aesthetics of the whole is determined by our own, personal taste and our own vision. It requires liberation and design courage, but it also allows you to go beyond the patterns and specific styles of space and makes it possible to create an individual and unique interior. One in which we freely combine various forms, colours, and textures ‑ equipment, furniture and accessories. These combinations can be contrasting, mixing elements that seem to be incompatible with each other, changing the functions of objects or placing them in a completely new context. It becomes entirely possible to combine various elements of decor characteristic of distant eras, even worlds. The effect of this endeavour allows the residents to express their tastes and preferences and to manifest their personality and individualism. Bring out the character Each individualist looks for his own solutions. The creation of such a personalized bathroom space can, however, be facilitated by choosing a colour palette that goes beyond the safe monopoly of white. For example, bicoloured washbasins can add a unique character to the interior. We can also look for individuality in the sphere of shapes and forms. Products with a characteristic, unusual design, fancy countertop washbasins, column models or elegant freestanding bathtubs with sophisticated shapes attract the eye and encourage you to experiment with interior design. Tailored to the needs, with an artistic flair, they bring out the individual character of each interior. They allow you to spread the wings of creativity, go beyond the interior design clichés, and above all, freely express your own personality. 33 TREND BEYOND THE LIMITS

34 The first step in personalizing your bathroom is adding colour. Today, technologies allow us to produce bathtubs, washbasins and shower trays in almost any shade – and we like to use this opportunity. 15% of our shower trays and almost 10% of bathtubs and washbasins are of a colour other than white. And this share keeps growing! No wonder – wealthy customers and those cooperating with interior designers eagerly reach for colourful products. We anticipate that two-colour bathtubs and washbasins will be a hit for premium interiors in the coming years. Customers appreciate their aesthetics and ease of cleaning.

36 We can express individuality by playing with form ‑ using products with a unique, sophisticated shape, or a more interesting and bold texture. Such products attract the attention of their users, becoming the main heroes of the interior. The nature of the space will be emphasized with form, texture and also colour. The Mineral Composite material offers enormous possibilities in terms of creating forms and textures. It allows for obtaining shapes and dimensions unheard of in other manufacturers. This modern material can also be boldly combined with classic shapes. Following modern requirements, it is also ecological, durable and reliable.
