Longtime collaborator with the Axor brand, Antonio Citterio introduces his third line for the brand, the Axor Citterio E collection. Citterio worked hand in hand with the head of the Axor brand, Philippe Grohe, to create the sleek line of faucets and shower components, which launched in New York this October.
Soft and slender faucet handles characterize the entire collection’s design, as in the single lever faucet with its modern and upright joystick handle, or in the three-hole mixers with their classic cross-handles. All products that make up the collection complement a variety of styles, from art nouveau to modern urban.
Easy volume and temperature control is an important feature of the entire collection—from sink to bathtub and shower products. In their archetypal shapes, the various handles of the thermostat modules allow the user to intuitively grasp their functions: the cross-handle controls water volume and the cylindrical thermostat handle controls water temperature. In hotel bathrooms, a two-way diverter clearly indicates which showerhead is currently in use. In addition, the Hansgrohe Select Thermostat technology, through a simple push of a button and easy-to-understand icons, allows separate control of the showerhead and handshower. In the bathtub, users can effortlessly switch from the bath spout to the handshower via an integrated diverter—even with soapy hands.
Products of the Axor Citterio E collection will be available in custom finishes upon request, such as brushed gold, in 2016.
