Design Ethos

Astra Walker is dedicated to designing timeless yet advanced bathware that is built to last. By steadfastly standing up for quality and mindful design over rapidly changing trends, we demonstrate an unwavering commitment to creating a legacy of quality, enduring bathware.

The design evolution of our products is intuitive, based on a considered combination of consumer feedback and needs, on learning from and building on the integrity of previous products, and by maintaining the highest level of technical innovation. This leads to the development of products that are not only discreet and adaptable but that are technically advanced, meeting the highest specifications and accreditations.

This is good design, design that is at once intuitive, innovative and elegantly restrained. This is timeless bathware that lasts for generations.
