Design doesn’t begin with products, but with people.
At VADO, personality has always shaped our creative process. The way we interact with the space, the way we move through it, and the way it feels. Behind every tap is a team—engineers, designers, makers—who understand that the smallest choices can have the biggest impact. We sketch, test, rework and refine, always with you in mind.
In true VADO style, we’ve never stood still. Now we’re growing, evolving from trusted brassware into whole bathroom solutions. In 2025, we’re thrilled to be exhibiting at Clerkenwell Design Week for the very first time—and what better way to mark the occasion than by showcasing our journey over the past three decades?
A LEGACY IN BRASSWARE
Back in the early days, VADO was all about brassware. We earned our reputation with high-performance taps, mixers, and showering solutions that didn’t just look great – they performed brilliantly, too. Over the years, we’ve refined our offering with cutting-edge design and clever technology, never losing sight of the detail and durability our customers value.
Beyond the Tap: Designing the Full Bathroom
Fast forward to today, and you’ll see a very different VADO. While brassware remains at our core, we’re expanding beyond individual pieces. From vanities and basins to flush systems and co-ordinating finishing touches, we provide everything you need to create a space that’s yours.
This shift is part of a bigger story: one that reflects changing lifestyles, customer expectations, and the growing demand for considered, cohesive design throughout the home. We’ve embraced this evolution with open arms, blending beauty, function, and sustainability into everything we do.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT CDW
Our Clerkenwell Design Week exhibition captures the spirit of this transformation. Inside our showroom-style space, you’ll find a curated collection of past and present designs – from heritage brassware that’s stood the test of time to exciting new launches that reveal where we’re heading next.
It’s a celebration of where we’ve been and a bold statement about where we’re going: design-led, forward-thinking, and always inspired by the people who use our products every day.
Whether you’re a designer, architect, showroom owner or just passionate about bathroom design, we’d love to welcome you to our space. Come and see what VADO has to offer – and find out how we’re shaping the future of bathrooms, one tap at a time.
