Leading bathroom and tile manufacturer RAK Ceramics successfully launched the aspirational KLUDI brand into the UK market during Clerkenwell Design Week 2025, which took place from 20th to 22nd May.
Originally founded in Germany’s Sauerland region in 1926, KLUDI has earned a reputation for producing innovative, high-quality kitchen and bathroom fittings. Over nearly a century, the brand has become synonymous with design excellence and functional performance. With over 170 inventions, 100 patents, and 1,000 registered designs, KLUDI has received multiple international design accolades. In 2022, it was named one of Germany’s ‘Top Innovators’.
During Clerkenwell Design Week, KLUDI’s extensive product portfolio was showcased for the first time in the UK at the inspirational RAK Ceramics Design Hub, located at 100 St John Street, London. One of the largest showrooms in the area, the two-storey, 7,276 sq. ft space is a destination for architects, designers, and specifiers exploring the future of kitchen and bathroom design.
Across the three-day event, visitors experienced the depth and quality of the KLUDI range, which spans brassware, freestanding bathtubs, shower trays, sanitaryware, furniture, and accessories—offering a complete bathroom solution that combines form, function, and innovation.
In addition to the showcase, RAK Ceramics hosted a series of networking opportunities and interactive experiences, culminating in a celebratory closing party to mark the successful conclusion of the event and the official launch of KLUDI in the UK.
“Clerkenwell Design Week is always a highlight in our calendar, and we’re delighted to be taking part in it once again in 2025,” said Ben Bryden, Sales and Marketing Director at RAK Ceramics UK.
“Not only are we marking the third anniversary of our London Design Hub in 2025, but we’re also celebrating the UK launch of our premium KLUDI brand. Renowned for its beautiful, innovative, water-saving designs and durable materials, KLUDI has a rich history and heritage and we look forward to introducing the brand during Clerkenwell Design Week 2025.”
The RAK Ceramics Design Hub remains open for visitors year-round and continues to serve as a hub for design inspiration in the heart of Clerkenwell.
