Attracting huge international interest

Three years after its launch, Normbau Cavere, the C.F. Møller range of premium bathroom and toilet accessories, now graces bathrooms across Europe - from a teaching hospital in Germany to a Scandic hotel in Finland.

The point of departure for the range was to create a design to make life easier for the disabled, without screaming that is made for "handicapped people". With its simple, elegant design expression, the range is intended to appeal to everyone who appreciates an aesthetically pleasing bathroom interior. The range (60 articles in all) includes everything from specific aids, such as a bath chair and handrails to the ordinary features in any bathroom, such as shelves and a toilet brush. It transpires that Normbau Cavere has broad appeal. The design has been used primarily in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and senior citizens' residences, including Schwarzwald Baar Klinikum, a new German teaching hospital with 750 beds under the auspices of Freiburg University and Foyer de la Côte, a private nursing home near Bern in Switzerland. However, other clients outside the healthcare sector have elected to fit the Normbau Cavere range, most recently a Scandic hotel in Tampere in Finland (images). The range has received several accolades. It was nominated for Designpreis Deutschland in 2011 and has received a Red Dot Design Award in 2010 and an iF product design award in 2011. The Cavere range is the result of a two-year development project, a partnership between C.F. Møller | Design and the German company, Normbau, which is one of Europe's leading suppliers of so-called "care equipment". Normbau takes care of sales everywhere except Scandinavia, where its Danish sister company Randi is the distributor. Randi and Normbau are both part of Ingersoll Rand, a company based in the US.
