The expanded AXOR One collection by Barber Osgerby offers elegant fittings for the washbasin, bathtub and shower unified by a holistic design language

AXOR's design-centric bathroom range continues to evolve and expand with the unmistakable touch of the British design duo, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby.

The founders of Barber Osgerby, who designed the Olympic Torch 2012, are renowned for their focus on the user’s interaction with the product and were the ideal designers to reinterpret AXOR's interactive control element for the shower and corresponding hand-held shower launched in 2015 and 2017 respectively. 

Not only were these innovations reimagined by Barber Osgerby for greater clarity, enhanced function and superior control, they have also expanded into an entire bathroom collection with supplementary products for wash basins, bathtubs and showers.

The wide product range includes faucets, wall-mounted faucets, a floor-standing bathtub filler with a hand-held shower, and the AXOR One thermostatic module for bath or shower. For the shower, items include overhead showers that combine both Rain and PowderRain spray types, a hand-held shower that features PowderRain, and a showerpipe and shower set with an integrated wall outlet.

The whole collection is powered by advanced Select technology that offers a new mode of interaction as users press down on its all-in-one controller to start or stop the water and turn clockwise to increase the temperature.

This ensures the mechanical faucet handles enable precise, water-saving on/off and temperate control. The AXOR One thermostatic module uses large, clearly marked, highly responsive paddle handles to offer intuitive control of spray types for shower or bath, while a large thermostat handle provides ultra-precise control of temperature and volume.

Overhead showers and handheld showers feature monolithic forms and an innovative organisation of Rain and PowderRain spray types, reflected in the distinctive graphic language of the showerhead’s spray disc. Its showerpipe additionally is the perfect all-in-one combination of overhead shower, hand-held shower, wall bar and wall outlet.

Ideas brought to life are what sets AXOR One apart and this range features an innovative idea that makes an exceptional design come true. AXOR One waterpipes have the benefit of easy and fast installation by virtue of positioning the cartridge underneath the washbasin.

This not just makes for an exceptionally slim silhouette, it also allows for easy service and maintenance as only the waterpipe needs to be removed, while the cartridge can be easily released thanks to a bayonet clasp.

AXOR One provokes the memory of water but heralds a new way of controlling it that is much more precise and incredibly refined. Indeed Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby sum it up best: "The AXOR One products are unique, made possible through our design thinking, and realised by the incredible engineering of AXOR.”
