STYLEPARK x AXOR

"Form Follows Perfection" is the brand philosophy of AXOR. The Hansgrohe Group design brand conceives and produces iconic objects for luxurious bathrooms in collaboration with world-renowned designers - including Philippe Starck, Antonio Citterio, Jean-Marie Massaud and Barber Osgerby.

The best of both worlds

‘The only acceptable style is freedom,’ says Philippe Starck. For 30 years, he has been creating designs for AXOR that offer new perspectives, dissolve boundaries and remain in the mind: reduced to the essentials, yet bold.
