In the second exhibition of 2017 which marked 100 Years of Roca | 100 Years of Design, Roca drew on the expert knowledge it has amassed since 1917. It explored how the experiences and insights over the 100 years (1917-2017) successfully influenced Roca product design, challenged established thinking and mirrored changes in our lifestyles and society at large. The exhibition also highlighted the important role played by manufacturing progress and advances in raw materials.  Through an absorbing visual experience, visitors gained a fresh perspective on the different aspects of bathroom design.

The exhibition highlighted the importance of design and innovation at Roca, recognising the creativity, research and inspiration behind new collections, materials and production processes. It also acknowledged the adaptation needed to reach new markets, as Roca successfully interprets the cultures of over 170 countries it operates in.

In addition to design, the exhibition looks at how manufacturing processes have changed. Familiar, everyday items they may be but every single bathroom piece is the product of significant technical and manufacturing investment and expertise.

Roca also examined how the bathroom has evolved since 1917 and considered the impact made by technology advancements, water efficiency and sanitaryware design. It looked back at Roca’s heritage and how the bathroom has changed during each decade.
