Master at work: Defying conventions of bathroom design with Vio Marchidan

Chemist by education, a master tiler by trade and a revolutionary innovator by nature, Vio Marchidan possesses not only an intimate knowledge of the industry but also a lifelong passion to change it for the better. With over 30 years in building and construction – and roughly half of them keenly spent on the tools – Vio’s competence, talent and highly ethical approach to his trade have established him as one of the most respected figures in the tiling sector.

Today, Vio heads up his own business, but he’s far from an ordinary company director. His amiable manner reveals him as a people person who takes joy in looking after his team and a natural leader who strives to pass the same passion that once got him into the industry – along with some invaluable tricks and trade secrets – onto others. He employs over 50 skilled tilers, many of whom have grown to become true artisans of the craft under Vio’s considerate eye.

In fact, it is that very passion, alongside Vio’s desire to reject the status quo and transform the broader industry, that formed the foundations of MeTrim, a ground-breaking architectural solution that redefines the spatial potential of our interiors.
