Zinc is a metallic element while zamak is a mixture of zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper. Both are durable materials and easy to cast into different shapes. They are good at conducting heat and electricity. Objects made of zinc or zamak are often given a surface treatment to resemble metals like gold, brass or stainless steel. Both zinc and zamak retain their good properties when they are recycled to become new objects.

”What inspired me to create the KALKGRUND series was that sense of luxury you get from a hotel room. Timeless bathroom accessories with solid basic functions that help make stressful mornings both calmer and easier. I wanted there to be luxury in every single detail, so I chose to hide all the fittings and screws. Naturally, all the products are easy to clean and ready for heavy-duty wear. Put simply, KALKGRUND is made to give you a little bit more luxury, every day.”
