Axor, the Hansgrohe designer brand, has launched a new collection from the grand master of design Philippe Starck. "The Axor Starck ShowerCollection," says Philippe Starck, "is a complete program, a genuine system consisting of a whole lot of small, square objects that can be combined to form an infinite range of totally flexible solutions. This is what we call Haute Couture for the shower." Shower, thermostat, lighting and speaker modules as well as shelf units conform to the same 12cm x 12cm perfect square shape and the same unembellished design, as do the control elements such as shut-off valves and mixers.
