Klaus Grohe

Jean-Marie Massaud’s philosophy of “nature-inspired design” is based on the idea of harmony between man, water and space. However, the interaction of design, technology and the careful use of our resources shapes every Axor project. In this regard, we value the precious commodities of water and energy. It is no wonder that this is also why the designers chose to work with Axor.

It is most likely our location in the Black Forest that teaches Hansgrohe to respect nature, on which we have always been reliant. It is therefore extremely natural for us to responsibly use the elements of water and energy. In this regard, Hansgrohe has always regarded itself as a crusader of environmental protection – long before t Klaus Grohe, son of “sustainability” became a corporate buzz word. the company founder and longstanding Chairman of the The company was one of the first in the sector to promote Executive and Supervisory resource-conserving technologies.

The Mandarin Oriental hotel is located on the elegant Passeig de Gràcia shopping street, just a stone’s throw away from Gaudí’s famous Casa Batlló. Born in Spain, the award-winning designer Patricia Urquiola uses her interior design concept to highlight the Asian roots of the Hong Kong hotel group and reinterprets the luxurious oasis with her European perspective. Her characteristic style mix can be seen in every corner: abstract flowers blossom on an orange silk rug, gold leaf clouds adorn the ceilings and golden grilles resemble the wrought-iron gates of Barcelona. The Axor Urquiola collection harmoniously blends into bathrooms.

The volcano-shaped, multi-purpose stadium blends into the landscape. Instead of designing a typical stadium, Jean-Marie Massaud designed a new human and economic system that respects the landscape and the environment. Cars have been banished beneath the stadium. The multi-use stadium, with a seating capacity of 45,000 and children’s play areas, beauty salons, a climbing wall and roller blade track is becoming a meeting place for families. The nature-inspired architecture is also reflected in the design of the Axor Massaud collection. R eferences Page 20_21 V illa Magnolia Mougins/France

Mougins is a small medieval town near Nice in the South of France and was once a retreat for lots of artists and prominent figures such as Picasso, Édith Piaf or Jacques Brel. The Villa Magnolia is situated on a hill among pine trees and cypresses, covering an area of 1,000 square metres, and features a patio, garden, swimming pool, and every luxury you can think of – modern yet classic. The façade’s white sandstone and exotic Okoumé wood give the Villa a unique aesthetic charm. The nine bathrooms were each inspired by the bathroom concepts of different designers, including Antonio Citterio, Patricia Urquiola and Jean-Marie Massaud.

The W hotel, with its ultra-modern urban chic, has been attracting design fans from around the world since 2011. Many of the 405 rooms and suites offer views of one of the tallest buildings in the world, the Taipei 101. The semi-open bathrooms, some of which offer views of the skyline of the Asian metropolis, set new standards when it comes to luxury. Axor Citterio stylishly rounds off the high quality feel.

The “Zen” superyacht is a congenial blend of traditional Indonesian wooden two-mast schooner and floating five-star hotel. It boasts a length of 53 meters and includes six guest rooms, a two-level master suite with adjoining children’s room, a generous deck area for relaxing and a platform with two jet skis. Elegant teak floors, dark rosewood walls and ceilings and ornaments, sculptures and carvings from Polynesian, Maori and Asian cultures give the luxurious interior a touch of the exquisite and tropical.

Another outstanding feature in the desert state: the most steeply inclined building in the world is located in Abu Dhabi. The Capital Gate Tower protrudes 160 metres above the desert and, at an 18 ° incline, leans 14 ° more than its counterpart in Pisa, Italy. The upper 16 floors are the Hyatt’s new, exclusive address. The 189 rooms and suites of the business hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer a spectacular view of the skyline of Abu Dhabi and the Persian Gulf. The individual and exclusive character of the Axor Citterio collection complements the luxurious and contemporary style of the hotel in its bathrooms too.

The towel holder a branching tree. The bath tub a lake. Axor Massaud creates a harmonious connection between organic and geometric shapes.

Soft forms that merge with asymmetries and large surfaces. Mixers with a naturally grown appearance. The archetypal shape of the wash bowl and bath tub makes these resemble old-style wash tubs. Axor Urquiola is a sensual, imaginative collection, extending to the very last detail. It is extremely adaptable, which makes it perfect for use in combination with any bathroom items. W hat does a bathroom collection inspired by modern city life look like? It reflects the fine art of timelessly modern design.

Axor Bouroullec is characterised by the shelves with a caressingly organic design. They can be used in any area of the bathroom, for positioning a mixer or holding personal items. Ar xo Bouroullec Page 46_47 Axor Uno2 Ar xo Uno2 Page 48_49

Timelessly modern cylindrical shapes – with high, slender spouts – are ideal for anyone who appreciates simplistic design. Whether it’s a two handle mixer or a single lever mixer with striking bow-shaped handle, a simple wall version or high wash bowl version – Axor Uno2 is perfect for all areas of the bathroom and is always elegantly discreet.
