Axor's integrated shower gives all-in-one control
London-based design duo Barber & Osgerby have joined forces with Axor, the design brand of Hansgrohe SE, to create an all-in-one interactive shower control element.
The Axor One, which made its debut at the London Design Festival in September, is designed to streamline the look and functionality of the bathroom.
It allows the user to simultaneously turn multiple water outlets on or off with the back of the hand or the elbow while temperature is set by turning the central dial; a small lever directly below
regulates water volume, and the Eco Mode reduces water consumption
up to 50 per cent.
The flow of water is activated and deactivated by tapping of
the paddles: symbols indicate the specific water outlets the user can
choose from (e.g. overhead, hand, or side shower).
It is available in a variety of finishes, ranging from
subdued chrome to a bold red-gold.
