【J】What do you think will be the bathroom design trend in the near future? 【J】您认为卫浴产品未来的设计趋势会是怎样的呢? 【TN】I don’t know if I have the answer but every time I have to design something, the main question is why should we do this, not only because we have to put some new products in the market but-there are so many chairs in the market, you don’t need a new chair. You don’t need a new sofa. Nobody needs really new products in many fields, not maybe even in ceramic. But sometimes there is a guideline which helps us to understand that it makes sense. So the SaphirKeramik it was first of all a material. And until you use this material to create products you have only a concept, it’s only a patent. So in this case it really make sense, for other products maybe it doesn't have sense, but every time I try to do something which make sense not only in terms of the market, for economic reason but also in terms of product. That’s why for me, functionality is always to have in mind the final user, and not only the people who are the buyer of the product. 【TN】我不知道答案。但是每次我要设计一个东西，我的核心问题是为什么我们要做这件事。原因不该是因为我们需要给市场带来新产品—市面上有太多椅子了，你根本不需要新椅子，你根本不需要新沙发，在很多领域我们都已经不需要新产品了，也许在陶瓷领域里也是这样。但是蓝钻陶瓷不同，这是一个革新材料，在人们用这个材料来创造出产品之前，你只有一个概念，一个材料专利。所以在这个情况下，设计新产品是合理的。每次我在设计时都希望不仅对市场有用，能够获得经济利益，而且这个产品能有其合理性。所以对我来说，产品的功能性就是心存终端用户，而不是只心存产品的买卖方。 【J】In this year’s KBC we see a lot of smart bathroom products, what do you think about this trend and how will Laufen react to it? 【J】在今年的厨卫展上我们看到了很多智能卫浴产品，您怎么看待这个趋势，劳芬会如何应对? 【MV】Smart bathroom is still a far way to go, but it’s an important part of life, an intimate space where you have also the possibilities to be close with your body and your health, there’s an aspect of hygiene, in the future maybe medical analysis, whatever can be carry out in the bathroom. There’s a long way ahead of us from being just a place to wash, to crossing the bridge of being a place of wellbeing. But it’s a long way because the bathroom is first of all a place that’s part of the architecture, products are heavily installed, almost connected to the building, not like product that could be changed easily with technology or electronics. 【MV】智能卫浴还有很长的路要走，卫浴对人们的生活来说很重要，这是一个很私密的空间，让你能和你的身体及健康对话的空间。未来也许会融入医疗方面的分析，或者其他适用于在卫浴空间里完成的功能。但要从一个洗浴空间变成一个健康空间还有很长的路。因为卫浴空间是依附于建筑的，产品都是需要安装的，几乎和建筑连为一体，不像其他产品可以很容易的更换技术或者是电路。 【J】The SaphirKeramik project has been a worldwide success. How does the market-especially the China market react to it? Last year we have Kartell by Laufen, a few years back we have the Living Square and this year we have the exciting collection of INO and VAL. 【J】蓝钻陶瓷项目在全世界范围内都很成功，那市场反响，尤其是中国市场反响如何?去年我们有Kartell by Laufen系列，再之前我们有Living Square系列，今年我们又增添了令人兴奋的新产品INO和VAL. 【AM】SaphirKeramik is a material completely developed from scratch by Laufen engineers together with various universities. It took us more than five years to come up with this material, and has very special properties, that comes with very thin walls, very sharp radius. Because the material is much superior than the original ceramic. The normal reaction of people when they touch our SaphirKeramik pieces they said “This is steel, no? It cannot be ceramic, it’s impossible.” But it’s 100% ceramic and the most hygienic, the most durable, the best material for the bathroom. So we launched this project in fact eight years ago, it took us five years to develop, it was a very complex project. Then, three years ago we launched the material commercially together with the product. And this is a good lesson because sometimes we talk a lot about innovation but innovation is something that is only real through innovation when it is possible to get translated into a product. And this product can be acquired by the market. That was the case three years ago, when we launched the SaphirKeramik material with Living Square and Kartell by Laufen production. Today we have the opportunity, the fantastic pleasure to have Toan with us, to present his latest baby, the INO collection made in this material. You will see that it changed completely the traditional aspect of ceramic, much more modern and fresh, in line with the modern trends of design. And the reaction has been enormous in all the markets. Everybody agrees that this is the future. Once again Laufen came up with a fantastic innovation and we were able to transform this innovation that was born in a lab, into a regular mass productions to be able to deliver to the customers. We were able to serve the society. Because this is also a most environment-friendly material. Why? Because we were able to meet the functionality consuming much less natural resources because you know the ceramic material is made of natural resources. This material consumes much less resources, because it’s much lighter, also in the industrial process we consume less gas and less CO2 emission. So it’s not only the most modern looking but also has a big effect in ecology [24:34] It’s really a big success. 【AM】蓝钻陶瓷是一个劳芬工程师和各个高校一起合作，完全从无到有创造出来的一个新型材料。我们花了5年的时间做研发，使它拥有了非常特殊的特性，它能实现非常轻薄的外壁，以及非常锐利的倒角。这一切都是因为我们这个材料比传统陶瓷要优越太多太多。人们在碰触我们的蓝钻陶瓷产品时经常性的反应一般是“这是钢铁做的吧?这不可能是陶瓷，绝对不可能。” 但是这百分之百是陶瓷而且是最卫生、最耐用、最好的卫浴材料。所以我们在8年前开始了这个项目，用了5年研发，这实在是一个非常复杂的项目。然后，在三年前我们发布了这个材料的商用版本以及使用该材料制造的产品。这对我们来说是一个非常不得了的事情。因为很多时候我们在谈创新，但只有转化为可被市场接受的产品，创新才能真正被实现。于是我们在三年前发布了蓝钻陶瓷的Living Square系列以及Kartell by Laufen系列。今天我们也有幸邀请了Toan来为我们发布他的最新作品，蓝钻陶瓷的INO系列。你将会看到这完全革新了人们对陶瓷的印象，该产品更加现代化更加新潮，更符合目前的设计趋势。而且市场对它的接受度非常高，大家都认为这就是卫浴产品的未来。于是劳芬又一次创造了一个了不起的创新，而我们将这个实验室里出生的创新，成功的转化为了可以进行大规模生产并且能让终端用户使用的产品。我们更好的服务了社会，因为这个材料也是一个非�；繁５牟牧�。为什么?因为我们在满足产品功能性的前提下，能够使用更少的自然资源-你也知道陶瓷必须使用自然资源来制造-而我们的材料使用更少的资源，因为它更轻更薄，而且在生产过程中使用了更少的煤炭，有更小的碳排放量。所以这不仅是一个拥有现代感外观的产品而且还是一个更有益于大自然的产品。这的确是一个很大的成功。
