The Laufen Forum is a tribute to its product range , today much more than its ceramic beginnings. Today ‘s bathrooms are globalizing solutions.
The Laufen Forum is an integrated architecture statement cast in concrete, with the bathroom , the jewel in its crown. The building is a clear commitment to Switzerland to the basis for Laufen offices ‘ if production facilities. It is a new architectural setting for their products and not only.

This arquitecture is a brand statement in one piece of concrete – without a single window. A place devoted to bathrooms and a source of inspiration and information for builders, architects, retailers and tradesmen. It is incorporated in a visitor and presentation centre, built in an unconventional architectural style.
Nissen Wentzlaff are the architect that projected this contemporary masterpiece of brand architecture for the brand Laufen.

Laufen Forum has received several awards for its exceptional architecture and sustainability.
In addition to numerous awards, he won The Award for Marketing + Architecture 2010.
