Making-of Axor Massaud
HOW IS A COLLECTION ACTUALLY
CREATED? HOW DOES A BATHROOM
DREAM BECOME A BATHROOM
COLLECTION?
All new Axor collections start with the designer’s
personal vision. In Jean-Marie Massaud’s idea
of the perfect bathroom, the resident brings the
experience of nature into the home. For Axor, the
designer first sketched his bathroom dream in the
Axor WaterDream project. He then designed
the entire bathroom collection, for which he was
inspired by nature. The mixer’s shaft is based on
a blade of grass, the towel rack cites Massaud’s
philosophy as a branching tree, the vase
celebrates the ritual use of water and the oval
box and candlestick resemble pebbles that would
caress the hand.
In addition to the design aspect, the technical
dimension also plays a key role. Function follows
form. The water flowing out of the mixer should be
clear, pure and beautiful like a natural waterfall –
this was the requirement that the designer set for
Axor and his development team.
How could this idea become a reality? The
Page 08_09
“function follows form” principle required a
completely new mixer design. The interior workings
of the mixer had to be designed so that the water
flowed quietly and smoothly out of the spout. To
create the elegant water jet, the experts from the
Hansgrohe spray laboratory had to integrate
highly sophisticated technology into the extremely
slimline plate.
The result is clear: a mixer from which a beautiful
waterfall flows; a particularly pleasant haptic
experience that also uses little water.
1 The water runs evenly along parallel
tracks.
2 Small bridge pillars slow the flow
rate of the water jet.
3 Stabilisation rims on the outer right
and left prevent the eddying of the
gentle flow.
4 A silicon lip makes it easier to
thoroughly clean the mixer.
The wash basin’s geometry has been
precisely tailored to the water jet.

After intensive discussions between the designers and the
development team, all of whom are regarded as equals, the
Axor collections finally reach the production stage. Here in
Schiltach, Germany, in a specially designated plant for the
Axor designer brand, state-of-the-art German engineering
meets years of tradition. The Axor collections are created –
with more than 5,000 different products. It takes a great deal
of handicraft and moderation to turn the designers’ visions into
reality.
Their high standards give rise to many different production
stages. These include precisely casting and cutting the
mixers or subjecting the square-edged surfaces to even more
intensive processing to ensure that they are optimally chromeplated. The moulding blank is refined like a raw diamond in
many individual stages until the final aesthetics are achieved.
Even the base of the Axor Massaud mixer is hand-polished
until it acquires a brilliant shine. The mixer therefore travels from
the casting department to the polishing and electroplating
departments all the way to the final assembly stage.

WHAT MAKES A BATHROOM COLLECTION?
A bathroom collection starts with a basin mixer and far from
ends with a bath tub. In addition to the typical products such
as the wash basin and bath tub along with the thermostats
and valves, the designer’s philosophy is always found
throughout the entire collection. The individual elements all
come together to create harmony in the bathroom. Axor
therefore develops monolithic products from mixers to
accessories in line with the designers’ sketches and desires.
Page 12_13
The Axor Collections contain a plethora of individual products
– often up to 80 items that all epitomise their designer’s style
and make life in the bathroom that little bit more special. The
broad range of individual lifestyles are therefore reflected
in the different bathroom collections – from a minimalistic
living room to bathrooms inspired by nature. With Axor
Massaud, for example, a candlestick or a vase in a typically
organic design round off the special room experience. In
other collections, this effect is created by elements such as a
multi-functional room divider or space-saving shelves.

“Water is an
elixir of life.
It therefore
deserves our
full respect and
consideration.”
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
“sustainability” became a corporate buzz word.
The company was one of the first in the sector to promote
resource-conserving technologies. Sustainability is a
central topic that covers multiple aspects, including
ecological, economical and social responsibility. A
bathroom in which people should enjoy a sense of
wellbeing for more than 20 years has high demands in
terms of sustainability: a design that will outlive all fashion
trends, durable materials and excellent innovative strength
in matters of quality and technology.
t Klaus Grohe, son of
the company founder and
longstanding Chairman of the
Executive and Supervisory
Boards, was one of the first
people in the industry to
promote low-consumption
water utilisation systems.

TOP OF
THE
WORLD
For many years, Axor collections have been incorporated
into outstanding architectural projects all over the world.
Truly impressive architecture for everyone’s enjoyment. Types
of properties that could not be more different, yet that all
have several things in common: a high demand for quality,
innovative designs and a respectful use of water. Axor is
therefore equally at home in outstanding office buildings,
luxurious high-sea yachts, exclusive private apartments and
many other international projects. Private building owners find
special solutions for creating their own individual bathroom
experiences, while the exclusivity of the design and the
intelligent use of water are often decisive factors for public
building owners and architects.

Khalifa Tower was inaugurated in January 2010, it broke
all records. Currently the highest building in the world, it has
189 storeys, 900 apartments, 37 office levels and houses
the Armani Hotel with 160 rooms and suites. More than
5,000 Axor Starck mixers play their part in the record.

· Collection: Axor Urquiola
· Rooms: 98
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.
Estadio Chivas
Guadalajara/Mexico
· Architects: Jean-Marie Massaud
and Daniel Pouzet, Paris/France
· Collection: Axor Massaud
· Spectators: 45,000
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.

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.

Nordic” cuisine set amidst an imaginative ambience, with a dash
of Scandinavian nonchalance. Perfect for the hip lifestyle: the Axor
Bouroullec collection in the purposefully dimly lit washrooms. The
award-winning restaurant chef offers the highest standards of quality
in the kitchen too. The Axor Citterio slimline mixer is used here.

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.

How much freedom can I
create in the bathroom?
Axor Bouroullec is a collection that is
not based on a rigid scheme. Instead,
it is so flexible that the individual
elements can be easily combined.
The organic, elegant design of Ronan
and Erwan Bouroullec remains in the
background at all times. A collection
of more than 70 products, offering us
the chance to tailor the bathroom to
our needs, our aesthetic desires and
our space like never before. We can

The Axor Bouroullec collection is an

of the wash basin; it can now be
placed at various different locations
above, on and around the wash basin.
Options become multi-options.
Axor Bouroullec is characterised by

Just
Haute Couture
for the Shower.
“Just mix it!” is the motto of the Axor
ShowerCollection. The simple,
customisable system comprising
shower heads, mixers and accessories
provides almost endless design
freedom. 12 x 12 cm squares can be
arranged in line with our visions: in
linear or free pattern – anything is
possible. The Axor ShowerCollection
was created in collaboration with
Philippe Starck.

The individual functional modules
such as hand shower, side
shower, valves and thermostats
can be flexibly combined to form
an intelligent shower system –
whether for use in a small
standard shower or ample-sized
personal spa, conventionally
arranged vertically, horizontally
or in a corner for the complete
shower experience.

HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO
CREATE A UNIQUE BATHROOM?
Bathroom area:
approx. 16 square metres
This room concept is an example of how to blend
nature and architecture, bathroom and bedroom,
and shows how an open shower area can transform
the room into a sensual spa. The toilet and bidet are
sensibly separated from the feel-good area. You can
find more on this on pages 28–31 and also on the
internet at www.head-and-heart.com
Bath inspiration
There are endless opportunities to make your own personal
bathroom a reality. And since everyone defines “feel-good”
differently, personal bathroom planning is extremely important.
How much space do you have? How much privacy do you
need? How many people use the bathroom? What functions
should be integrated? Should the bathroom be a place of
retreat, a compact spa or a spacious living and bathroom area
in one? How much time do you want to spend in the bathroom?
Do you like plants?

We use our designers’ bathroom inspirations to answer your
questions about the bathroom. This includes architectural
concepts such as how the room can be intelligently divided
up – for both large and small rooms. And their ideas show how
specific materials, sophisticated lighting, accessories and other
homely elements can also help create aesthetic experiences.
