For 25 years, AXOR has always stood out for introducing its luxurious bathroom designs, craftsmen with the utmost detailing, and distinguished finishes. With expertise that extends far beyond the products themselves, AXOR inspires and enables architects, interior designers, and the design-savvy public. To celebrate 30 years of collaboration between AXOR and renowned creator Philippe Starck, the brand unveils the classic collection that still holds a stronghold as one of the icons of bathroom design with a balance between utility and aesthetics.

AXOR Shower Composition

A shower is a very intimate space, and it must be flexible and adaptable to an individual’s needs. Designed by Starck, AXOR ShowerComposition introduces a striking new universal design language, modern and timeless, to the shower area. The programme features sleek, flat surfaces and ultra-slim profiles in an architectonic composition that presents novel possibilities for individual expression. Whether as an all-in-one shower panel or a personalised arrangement of floating modules, AXOR ShowerComposition offers exceptional performance, including immersive PowderRain spray mode overhead and PowderRain shoulder showers with angle adjustment. AXOR ShowerComposition provides the maximum of services by using the minimum of matter.

AXOR ShowerComposition features a reduced, rectilinear design, the diminutive depth of the showerhead and vertical panels, which extend just 10mm from the wall, counterbalanced by their generous width. While the easy-to-install shower panel offers full functionality in one single basic set, individual shower modules can be composed and arranged for a truly personalised shower experience. “With the new AXOR ShowerComposition program, we have composed three to four objects in one. That's what modernity is all about: always doing the minimum to get the maximum,” says Starck.

Versatile with an easy installation, the AXOR ShowerComposition programme is available in a variety of configurations. The all-in-one shower panel integrates an overhead shower, a body shower, a thermostatic module and a hand shower as well as a textile-wrapped shower hose. In addition to PowderRain, an immersive spray type that cocoons the body in ultra-fine droplets, selected overhead showers incorporate a conical spray. Temperature and water volume are controlled separately through an intuitive interaction design.

AXOR Suite

Through elegant design and specially finished elements, AXOR Suite basins and bathtub, designed by Starck, bring harmony and a personal touch to any bathroom interior design. Each piece is made with SolidSurface material for resistance and longevity, while smooth contours, small radii and ‘soft’ inner basins, devoid of lines or ridges, ensure a clean modern look with universal appeal. At the same time, specially finished elements—a shelf on the bathtub, a wrap-around surface on the washbasin sides—allow users to express their individuality.

Rectangular or circular, the AXOR Suite basins are elegant forms, characterised by small radii, soft and smooth inner basins. They are encased in Matt Black, Chrome or one of the polished or brushed AXOR FinishPlus finishes, creating another luxurious option for a personal touch in the bathroom. “The key words for the future and ecology are longevity, transmission and heritage. The new AXOR Suite washbasin combines metal and SolidSurface—a highly technological material symbolising eternity and elegance. It is designed to last forever”, says Starck.

AXOR Suite basins take the form of versatile circular or rectangular wash bowls that can be installed on any appropriate bathroom furniture or surface. Its size alone makes the bathtub the centrepiece in most bathrooms. In the AXOR Suite model, Starck has put emphasis on durable materials. The use of SolidSurface, a durable, stain-resistant surface derived from natural materials and pure acrylic resin meets Starck’s claim: “Designed to last forever.” Non-porous and easy to clean, SolidSurface is ideal for environments that require the highest standards of hygiene. The bathtub, circular at the ends and straight on the sides, is generously sized at 1900 x 830 mm.
