The panel talk “Bubbles of Time – Architecture of the Intimate” explores how the bathroom has evolved – from a functional space into a central element of contemporary living culture.
Entrepreneur Franz Kaldewei, designer Werner Aisslinger, and curators Parasite 2.0 and Forgotten Architecture will discuss how design, material innovation and spatial thinking have shaped the modern bathroom – and how they might continue to define its future.
The discussion will be moderated by design expert Karianne Fogelberg. Following the talk, guests are invited to round off the evening with food and drinks.
When? 21 April 2026, 7 pm
