BATHROOM VISIONS FOR YOUR DESIGNER . WHAT MAKES A GOOD BATHROOM? Philippe Grohe, head of the Axor brand and grandson of the Hansgrohe founder. Introduction How does water affect our wellbeing? Why do we shower for longer than the minute it takes us to get clean? What is it that actually makes a good bathroom? 01 Be inspired by our designers’ innovative strengths and discover your very own feel-good bathroom with the Axor brand. Yours, We join a number of extraordinary designers and architects of our time to focus on these questions. Creative designers use their dream bathrooms to give us their perspective of the bathroom as a living area and an answer on how life in the bathroom can be made better and more beautiful. Their different design styles and ways of thinking give rise to a plethora of solutions — together with a vast range for selection. After all, there is not simply a universal bathroom solution for all, but an individual solution for each and every one of us.

MAKING OF A COLLECTION. AXOR MASSAUD. Making of Axor Massaud 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 the Axor brand, 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 faucet’s shaft is based on a blade of grass, the towel rack echoes Massaud’s philosophy as a branching tree, the vase celebrates the ritual use of water, and the candle holder and flower vase resemble river stones that would caress the hand. 04_05 In addition to design, the technical aspect also plays a key role. Function follows form. The water flowing out of the faucet should be clear, pure and beautiful like a natural waterfall — this was the requirement that Massaud set for Axor and his development team. How could this idea become a reality? The “function follows form” principle required a completely new faucet design. The interior workings of the faucet had to be redesigned 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 slim faucet. The result is clear: a faucet from which a beautiful waterfall flows; a particularly pleasant experience that uses very little water. 1 The water runs evenly along parallel tracks. 2 Small bridge pillars slow the flow rate of the water jet. 3 Stabilisation rims on the outer right and left prevent the eddying of the gentle flow. 4 A silicon lip makes it easier to thoroughly clean the mixer. The washbasin’s geometry has been precisely tailored to the water jet. Making of Axor Massaud 06_07 DIALOGUE AND DEVELOPMENT 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. These products are produced at a plant in Schiltach, Germany which is solely dedicated to the Axor brand, where state-of-the-art German engineering meets years of tradition to create the hundreds of products available from the Axor brand. It takes a great deal of dialogue and development to turn the designers’ visions into reality. Their high standards give rise to many different production stages. q 1. Casting department p 3. Electroplating department These include precisely casting and cutting the faucets or subjecting the square-edged surfaces to even more intensive processing to ensure that they are optimally chrome-plated. The molding blank is refined like a raw diamond in many individual stages until the final aesthetics are achieved. Even the base of the Axor Massaud faucet is hand-polished until it acquires a brilliant shine. The faucet therefore travels from the casting department to the polishing and electroplating departments all the way to the final assembly stage. q 2. Polishing department p 4. Final assembly Alone, a gem. Together, a harmonious collection.

A bathroom collection starts with a faucet and does not end with a bathtub. In addition to the typical products such as the vessel sink and bathtub along with the thermostatic trim and diverter 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 develops distinctive products from faucets 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 epitomize 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 minimalist living room to bathrooms inspired by nature. With the Axor Massaud collection, for example, a candle holder or a flower 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.
