4  A silicon lip makes it easier to thoroughly clean the mixer.

The wash basin’s geometry has been precisely tailored to the water jet.

how is a collection actuallY createD? how Does a bathroom Dream become a bathroom collection?

All new Axor collections start with the designer’s personal vision. In Jean-Marie Massaud’s idea of the perfect bathroom, the resident brings the experience of nature into the home. for Axor, the designer first sketched his bathroom dream in the Axor WaterDream project. He then designed the entire bathroom collection, for which he was inspired by nature. The mixer’s shaft is based on

a blade of grass, the towel rack cites Massaud’s philosophy as a branching tree, the vase celebrates the ritual use of water and the oval box and candlestick resemble pebbles that would caress the hand.

In addition to the design aspect, the technical dimension also plays a key role. function follows form. The water flowing out of the mixer should be clear, pure and beautiful like a natural waterfall – this was the requirement that the designer set for Axor and his development team. How could this idea become a reality? The

“function follows form” principle required a completely new mixer design. The interior workings of the mixer had to be designed so that the water flowed quietly and smoothly out of the spout. To create the elegant water jet, the experts from the Hansgrohe spray laboratory had to integrate highly sophisticated technology into the extremely slimline plate.

The result is clear: a mixer from which a beautiful waterfall flows; a particularly pleasant haptic experience that also uses little water.

After intensive discussions between the designers and the development team, all of whom are regarded as equals, the Axor collections finally reach the production stage. Here in Schiltach, Germany, in a specially designated plant for the Axor designer brand, state-of-the-art German engineering meets years of tradition. The Axor collections are created – with more than 5,000 different products. It takes a great deal of handicraft and moderation to turn the designers’ visions into reality. Their high standards give rise to many different production stages. These include precisely casting and cutting the mixers or subjecting the square-edged surfaces to even more intensive processing to ensure that they are optimally chrome-plated. The moulding blank is refined like a raw diamond in many individual stages until the final aesthetics are achieved. Even the base of the Axor Massaud mixer is hand-polished until it acquires a brilliant shine. The mixer therefore travels from the casting department to the polishing and electroplating departments all the way to the final assembly stage.

what makes a bathroom collection?

A bathroom collection starts with a basin mixer and far from ends with a bath tub. In addition to the typical products such as the wash basin and bath tub along with the thermostats and valves, the designer’s philosophy is always found throughout the entire collection. The individual elements all come together to create harmony in the bathroom. Axor therefore develops monolithic products from mixers to accessories in line with the designers’ sketches and desires.

The Axor Collections contain a plethora of individual products – often up to 80 items that all epitomise their designer’s style and make life in the bathroom that little bit more special. The broad range of individual lifestyles are therefore reflected in the different bathroom collections – from a minimalistic living room to bathrooms inspired by nature. With Axor Massaud, for example, a candlestick or a vase in a typically organic design round off the special room experience. In other collections, this effect is created by elements such as a multi-functional room divider or space-saving shelves.

“water is an elixir of life. it therefore Deserves our full resPect anD consiDeration.”Klaus Grohe

Jean-Marie Massaud’s philosophy of “nature-inspired design” is based on the idea of harmony between man, water and space. However, the interaction of design, technology and the careful use of our resources shapes every Axor project. In this regard, we value the precious commodities of water and energy. It is no wonder that this is also why the designers chose to work with Axor. It is most likely our location in the Black forest that teaches Hansgrohe to respect nature, on which we have always been reliant. It is therefore extremely natural for us to responsibly use the elements of water and energy. In this regard, Hansgrohe has always regarded itself as a crusader of environmental protection – long before “sustainability” became a corporate buzz word. The company was one of the first in the sector to promote resource-conserving technologies. Sustainability is a central topic that covers multiple aspects, including ecological, economical and social responsibility. A bathroom in which people should enjoy a sense of wellbeing for more than 20 years has high demands in terms of sustainability: a design that will outlive all fashion trends, durable materials and excellent innovative strength in matters of quality and technology.

t Klaus Grohe, son of the company founder and longstanding Chairman of the Executive and Supervisory Boards, was one of the first people in the industry to promote low-consumption water utilisation systems.

for many years, Axor collections have been incorporated into outstanding architectural projects all over the world. Truly impressive architecture for everyone’s enjoyment. Types of properties that could not be more different, yet that all have several things in common: a high demand for quality, innovative designs and a respectful use of water. Axor is therefore equally at home in outstanding office buildings, luxurious high-sea yachts, exclusive private apartments and many other international projects. Private building owners find special solutions for creating their own individual bathroom experiences, while the exclusivity of the design and the intelligent use of water are often decisive factors for public building owners and architects.

The prestigious architectural work towers over the Gulf metropolis like a native six-leaf desert flower. When the Khalifa Tower was inaugurated in January 2010, it broke all records. Currently the highest building in the world, it has 189 storeys, 900 apartments, 37 office levels and houses the Armani Hotel with 160 rooms and suites. More than 5,000 Axor Starck mixers play their part in the record.

The Mandarin oriental hotel is located on the elegant Passeig de Gràcia shopping street, just a stone’s throw away from Gaudí’s famous Casa Batlló. Born in Spain, the award-winning designer Patricia urquiola uses her interior design concept to highlight the Asian roots of the Hong Kong hotel group and reinterprets the luxurious oasis with her European perspective. Her characteristic style mix can be seen in every corner: abstract flowers blossom on an orange silk rug, gold leaf clouds adorn the ceilings and golden grilles resemble the wrought-iron gates of Barcelona. The Axor urquiola collection harmoniously blends into bathrooms.

The volcano-shaped, multi-purpose stadium blends into the landscape. Instead of designing a typical stadium, Jean-Marie Massaud designed a new human and economic system that respects the landscape and the environment. Cars have been banished beneath the stadium. The multi-use stadium, with a seating capacity of 45,000 and children’s play areas, beauty salons, a climbing wall and roller blade track is becoming a meeting place for families. The nature-inspired architecture is also reflected in the design of the Axor Massaud collection.

Mougins is a small medieval town near nice in the South of france and was once a retreat for lots of artists and prominent figures such as Picasso, Édith Piaf or Jacques Brel. The Villa Magnolia is situated on a hill among pine trees and cypresses, covering an area of 1,000 square metres, and features a patio, garden, swimming pool, and every luxury you can think of – modern yet classic. The façade’s white sandstone and exotic okoumé wood give the Villa a unique aesthetic charm. The nine bathrooms were each inspired by the bathroom concepts of different designers, including Antonio Citterio, Patricia urquiola and Jean-Marie Massaud.

Many of the 405 rooms and suites offer views of one of the tallest buildings in the world, the Taipei 101. The semi-open bathrooms, some of which offer views of the skyline of the Asian metropolis, set new standards when it comes to luxury. Axor Citterio stylishly rounds off the high quality feel.

The “Zen” superyacht is a congenial blend of traditional Indonesian wooden two-mast schooner and floating five-star hotel. It boasts a length of 53 meters and includes six guest rooms, a two-level master suite with adjoining children’s room, a generous deck area for relaxing and a platform with two jet skis. Elegant teak floors, dark rosewood walls and ceilings and ornaments, sculptures and carvings from Polynesian, Maori and Asian cultures give the luxurious interior a touch of the exquisite and tropical.

Another outstanding feature in the desert state: the most steeply inclined building in the world is located in Abu Dhabi.

The 189 rooms and suites of the business hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer a spectacular view of the skyline of Abu Dhabi and the Persian Gulf.

how manY waYs are there to create a unique bathroom?

bathroom area: approx. 16 square metres

This room concept is an example of how to blend nature and architecture, bathroom and bedroom, and shows how an open shower area can transform the room into a sensual spa. The toilet and bidet are sensibly separated from the feel-good area. you can find more on this on pages 28–31 and also on the internet at www.head-and-heart.com

There are endless opportunities to make your own personal bathroom a reality. And since everyone defines “feel-good” differently, personal bathroom planning is extremely important. How much space do you have? How much privacy do you need? How many people use the bathroom? What functions should be integrated? Should the bathroom be a place of retreat, a compact spa or a spacious living and bathroom area in one? How much time do you want to spend in the bathroom? Do you like plants?

We use our designers’ bathroom inspirations to answer your questions about the bathroom. This includes architectural concepts such as how the room can be intelligently divided up – for both large and small rooms. And their ideas show how specific materials, sophisticated lighting, accessories and other homely elements can also help create aesthetic experiences.
