Leading figures in design and architecture, including Philippe Starck, Antonio Citterio, Nendo, Phoenix Design Studio, and more, have partnered with Hansgrohe AXOR, a global leader in the production of faucets, sinks, and similar fixtures. Their goal is to create exceptional designs for faucets, showers, showerheads, and various accessories. This collaboration successfully enhances bathrooms and the shower experience with outstanding, elegant, and sophisticated items that bring joy to those who use them.
Each designer infuses the bathroom with their unique signature, adhering to high, uncompromising standards. This allows the company to showcase exclusive items that become iconic in the field of design, creating a distinct and special language.
Water flows artfully from faucets that appear as amorphous works of art, characterized by the personal style of each designer. They manage to create a new and extraordinary design language in the bathroom.
Phoenix Design Studio, which has won over 900 design awards to date, has firmly established itself as one of the world’s leading design houses without unnecessary pretensions. They design with a motto: “Our products aim to achieve two goals - making life easier and more enjoyable.” Their collaboration with AXOR Hansgrohe has resulted in minimalist faucets with sharp lines that stand out in space due to their sheer minimalism.
Nendo, a renowned Japanese architect who was named one of the top 100 most respected Japanese designers, chose to design showerheads integrated with lighting fixtures. Among his clients are some of the world’s most recognizable furniture companies like Kartell, Cappellini, and De Padova. The bathroom fixtures he designed resemble impressive street lamps that illuminate the bathroom while water flows, creating a stunning audiovisual display of both trickling water and light.
Antonio Citterio, the Italian designer known for his unique buildings around the world, including the Hamburgers Elbphilharmonie, insists that above all, he is an architect. Thus, he ensures to incorporate the emphases that have made him a leading designer globally into all his works. He designs delicate and "smart" products with remarkable beauty alongside superior usability for the sink or bathroom floor. It is important for him to integrate maximum harmony, combining Italian innovation with a long-standing tradition in his designs.
For AXOR Hansgrohe, he has designed a masterpiece series of early 20th-century neo-classicism, based on mathematical proportions that create hidden balances, combinations of round and square, familiar and new, classic and contemporary, all at once. The result is elegant faucets and showers with handles resembling jewelry.
The Swedish design group Front, whose clients include brands such as Porro, Moooi, Kvadrat, Bar Moroso, and Ikea, is responsible for the design from the initial idea to the final execution. They emphasize materials, conventions in the design field, and unique creation processes of their own.
The designers are committed to creating stunning innovations and inventions, combining robotics and inspired by magic. The shower and faucet bodies they designed for AXOR Hansgrohe have an industrial style, integrating fittings that blend like labyrinths, with dramatic-looking tapered showerheads.
Philippe Starck, whose creations also grace numerous museums worldwide, believes in a better world and always considers the environment. Therefore, he chose to design faucets for AXOR Hansgrohe that offer a new interpretation of the product and bathrooms, with deep consideration for the environment through organic design. The products he designed for them are a statement of minimalism, returning to the original elements, combining sculpted organic with functional. Starck incorporated organic design with advanced technology in the faucets. The faucets he designed have two power levels and unconventional water spraying methods, resembling dramatic waterfalls directed at the sink or bathroom floor.
Jean-Marie Massaud, the French designer, asserts that water is our source of life and thus a source of well-being and tranquility. He likens the water flow from the faucet to a waterfall. Massaud, an original French designer responsible for exceptional and famous projects worldwide, including the most renowned soccer stadium in Mexico, known as Omnilife Stadium, consistently adheres to the principles of organic architecture. He integrates this element into AXOR Hansgrohe’s faucets, transforming them into long, rectangular, and exciting geometric surfaces with special materials in unique and rare shades.
Ohad Levi, owner of Notli, which markets AXOR Hansgrohe products, adds: "It is important for AXOR Hansgrohe to constantly conquer new territories and lead the culture of bathing and a different experience by collaborating with the most renowned designers in the field of product design and architecture. The designers create an experience that no company in the field can compete with."
