Philippe Starck: Axor / 17

Organic design and an aesthetic of transparency characterise the new mixer by the French designer, in a combination of practicality and an urge to surprise.

A capital V, which stands for Vitality and Vortex, placed after the name Axor Starck, indicates a new mixer that “represents the absolute, totally transparent, almost invisible minimum capable of enclosing that minor miracle that is the vortex”.

Besides being functional and making water visible, the transparency of the mixer’s body – for which a special, ecological and resistant glass was developed – blends it aesthetically into its surroundings.

Its open spout recreates the sacred idea of the chalice: the water rises in a whirl towards the top through the mixer’s body until it fills it and flows “in free fall” into the basin. Although conveying the idea of a natural and fluent abundance, Axor Starck V in fact has a capacity of 4 l/min, permitting a considerable water saving (compared to the traditional 7/9 l/min). The spout is open, revolving and removable, so as also to facilitate installation and cleaning in the dishwasher.
