Haute Couture for the shower: the Axor Starck ShowerCollection

Schiltach, May 2008. “The collection consists of a complete program, an actual design system – similar to a mosaic or a puzzle made up of a whole lot of small, square-shaped objects – that can be combined to form an infinite number of totally flexible solutions. This is what we call Haute Couture for the shower.” This is how the French designer Philippe Starck describes the aesthetic value of the Axor Starck ShowerCollection, where a small, perfect square ushers into a great and flexible design concept. It is no accident that this latest co-production with Axor, the designer brand of the company Hansgrohe AG, with which he can look back over a successful sixteen-year collaboration in bathroom design, has its world première at the Milan Furniture Fair as part of the Fuorisalone program. The “Salone del Mobile” attracts creative talent from around the globe who design the living environment of the future and the architecture with which we live. And, as is evident at the Milan Furniture Fair, the bathroom is playing an increasingly important role in this regard.
