About Us
Mike Federer
In 1996, Mike Federer founded DEPOT Hauswaren AG. The Zurich-based store – now known as THE BATH SHOP AG – specialises in traditional, high-quality bathroom products. Over the years, interior projects have increasingly complemented the original business. The aesthetic approach – traditional and classic – has remained unchanged. The expertise, however, has continued to evolve.
Wassily Federer
In 2017, the son, Wassily Federer, joined the family business. In 2020, Mike and Wassily Federer took over the distribution of LACANCHE for all of Switzerland, along with the new showroom at Pfalzgasse, just next door to THE BATH SHOP.

THE BATH SHOP
is a division of Depot Hauswaren AG, founded by Mike Federer in 1996.
From the very beginning we have worked with small factories that were still making original shapes by hand. Unfortunately, some small manufactories have closed or moved their production out of Europe.
To carry on with our vision of products that couldn’t be found on the market, we started to have basins, taps, accessories, toilets and much more, made to our own design. We develop, research and work with keenness and passion on details and quality.
We work with renowned manufacturers in England, France and Italy. All items are produced in their respective countries under fair conditions and in accordance with European standards. Durable, repairable products matter deeply to us – our quiet contribution to environmental responsibility. Repair rather than dispose. For this reason, we keep spare parts for all products in stock.
Sustainability and quality
Our primary concern is that qualified personnel install our products. Your plumber will provide the appropriate installation. We expect the installer to take responsibility which is why we supply our goods only through him. Of course, you can buy simple items such as a soap dish or a towel rack directly from us.

Showroom
Our showroom is located near the Lindenhof, in the heart of Zurich. We show most of our range – but not everything.
We recommend making an appointment before your visit.
