A warm towel costs more today than it brings in.

Not because of the towel. Because of everything attached to it.

The problem

Until now

  • Towels sit in a warming cabinet and wait. Whoever takes one does not know how long it was there.
  • Washing, sorting, paying a laundry service. Every batch costs time and money.
  • Or plastic wet wipes, individually wrapped. That is not an experience.

With CalmConcept

  • Every towel is made at the moment it is handed over. Nobody touched it before.
  • Tap water only. No chemicals, no laundry cycle.
  • Towels made from 100 percent plant fibres. Compostable after use.

The Perfect Solution for Your Industry

Six places, the same gesture. Everywhere a warm towel says more than a sentence.

  • Catering

    More tips & a wow effect after the meal.

    A warm towel after the meal is a small gift to your guest. Those who feel pampered will return—and spread the word.

  • Spas & Beauty

    Hot luxury compresses. Replaces unhygienic warming cabinets.

    A compress is a hot towel for your face or neck. At CalmConcept, it comes fresh from the device – not from a cabinet where germs can grow.

  • Clinics & Practices

    Maximum hygiene. Reassures patients after treatment.

    Each towel is only created at the moment of dispensing. No one has touched it before — ideal wherever hygiene is non-negotiable.

  • Hairdresser and Barber

    Hot Towel, no laundry basket

    The hot towel before a shave is craftsmanship, not an extra. It comes out of the device in seconds — and afterwards, no cloth towel goes into the laundry.

  • Hotel and Reception

    Arrival begins at reception

    A warm towel after arrival is the simplest gesture a house can offer. In summer, the same device with ice cubes, then ice cold.

  • Home

    The small device for everyday use

    Not every use is an operation. The compact model sits on the counter and turns a dinner into an occasion.

Origin

CalmConcept by NAIPO. Born in our own house.

The brand did not come out of a catalogue. It came out of Hamburg HafenCity, out of our own premium location. The first machine has been running there daily for two years.

  1. The reason

    At the NAIPO store in HafenCity, one small thing was missing at the end of every session: a warm towel. Every way to get one was awkward. Laundry basket, warming box, wet wipe from a sachet. None of it fitted a place that sells calm.

  2. Two years of service

    Dispensing time, temperature, towel size, refilling between two guests: every question was answered where it shows up. At our own counter, with real guests, every day. A spec sheet would never have asked them.

  3. The brand

    What remained is called CalmConcept by NAIPO. First in our own store, then in restaurants, clinics and studios that wanted the same gesture. Without a laundry cycle behind it.

See it for yourself: NAIPO HafenCity, Am Grasbrookpark 1, Hamburg. No appointment needed.

Frequent questions

Nine answers, before you have to write to us.

What is an oshibori?

An oshibori is the moist towel handed out before a meal in Japan. Warm in winter, chilled in summer. What began as a courtesy has become an expectation: once you have had one, you miss it.

How does an oshibori machine work?

Load the roll, fill in water, press the button. The machine cuts a towel off the roll, moistens it and brings it to temperature. The towel only comes into being at that moment. Nobody has handled it before.

Warm or cold towel, and when?

The same machine does both. For cold towels you add ice cubes instead of hot water. In summer at reception and after sport, in winter after the meal and before the shave.

Single-use or cloth, which is more hygienic?

A cloth towel is as clean as its last wash cycle and the box it is kept warm in. A towel from the machine is made at the moment it is dispensed and discarded afterwards. There is no cycle in which something can go wrong.

Are the towels environmentally friendly?

The towels are made from plant fibres rather than plastic. On top of that the entire laundry cycle disappears: no detergent, no fabric softener, no trip to the laundry service, no warming box running all day.

What does a single towel cost?

The price per towel is the price of the refill roll divided by the number of towels on it. Add tap water and the electricity the machine uses. No laundry invoice, no detergent, no minimum order.

Does it make sense at home too?

That is what the compact model is for. It works exactly like the larger machines: fill in water, load the roll, press the button. On a sideboard it turns dinner into an occasion.

Are there terms for businesses?

Yes. For several machines, regular refills or leasing, write to us using the form on this page. Purchase on invoice for businesses on request.

Can I try the machine first?

CalmConcept runs in daily service at the NAIPO store, Am Grasbrookpark 1 in Hamburg HafenCity. Drop in, try it, hold a warm towel. No appointment needed.

What water goes into the dispenser?

Ordinary tap water works. We still recommend distilled or soft, low-lime water: limescale builds up inside the device, and whatever builds up has to be descaled later. The softer the water, the less often.
