Recapturing the essence of the Belle époque with Axor Montreux

Axor Montreux

Axor, the designer brand from Hansgrohe, has expanded its product portfolio with a completely new bathroom collection: Axor Montreux. The beginning of the 20th century, known as the belle époque, served as the source of inspiration for the designers from Phoenix Design. This era was characterized by increasing prosperity and a growing desire to travel within Europe; with one popular travel destination for artists, philosophers, and the privileged classes of the time being a spa at Lake Geneva – Montreux.

In this spirit, Axor Montreux alludes to a historic time filled with enjoyment, joie de vivre, and luxury, just as it also satisfies the Axor brand’s claim to exclusivity. Whether in an authentically traditional bathroom or in a modern mixture of styles, the Axor Montreux design can be integrated into the most varied of living environments.

The designers combined clean, geometric shapes with pure, traditional elements such as filigree cross handles and ceramic components. Unique reminiscences of the belle époque include bridge mixers and a free standing version of the bath tub mixer. The distinctive nickel finish provides for a high degree of authenticity in the Axor Montreux design, available in brushed or polished styles. Similar to the manufacturing process at the time, the fixtures are not produced as much from casting as they are from many individual high-grade segments and precisely fabricated components. The authenticity of the design and the high quality of production therefore turn the fixtures into true works of art from a “time recaptured”.

As always with Axor, the Montreux collection also includes an abundance of components and accessories that have been coordinated with each other, from wash basin to bath tub mixers, from soap baskets to shaving mirrors. This ensures that the design of the bathroom environment conveys the proper style and at the same time is tailored to individual needs and ideas.
