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.
