Following the introduction of the interactive control element for the shower (2015) and the corresponding hand-held shower (2017), AXOR now presents complementary products for the AXOR One collection for washbasins, bathtubs and showers at the Hansgrohe Group Aqua Days.
Designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, a familiar archetype has been reinterpreted for greater clarity, enhanced function and superior control. Powered by advanced Select technology, the faucet establishes a new mode of interaction: press down on its all-in-one controller to start or stop the water; turn clockwise to increase the temperature. The action is effortless, intuitive and ultra-precise, and this same inventive design thinking characterises the entire collection. Timeless by design and available in Chrome, Matt Black and an array of exclusive AXOR FinishPlus surfaces, AXOR One brings exquisite elegance to any bathroom.
DESIGN: SLENDER SILHOUETTES, FLAT SURFACES AND SOFT CORNERS
A collection of elegant archetypes for the washbasin, bathtub and shower, AXOR One is unified by a holistic design language of slender silhouettes, flat surfaces, soft corners and balanced proportions. The iconic faucets feature a gentle taper to their curved spouts, a subtle detail that signals exceptional design and manufacturing quality. In addition, the mechanical faucet handles enable precise, water-saving on/off and temperate control by utilising Select technology.
The AXOR One thermostatic module uses large, clearly marked, highly responsive paddle handles to offer intuitive control of spray types for shower or bath. In contrast, a large thermostat handle provides ultra-precise temperature and volume control. The AXOR One overhead showers and hand-held showers feature monolithic forms and an innovative organisation of Rain and PowderRain spray types, reflected in the distinctive graphic language of the showerhead’s spray disc. The AXOR One shower pipe is the perfect all-in-one combination of overhead shower, hand-held shower, wall bar and wall outlet.
“How do you challenge the archetype? Through the pursuit of art and science, invention and interaction. AXOR One provokes the memory of water but heralds a new way of controlling it that is much more precise and incredibly refined. The AXOR One products are unique, made possible through our design thinking, and realised by the incredible engineering of AXOR,” Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby explain.
