New concepts in faucet design.

Vision for the future: “Create your own spout”.

AXOR unveiled a new vision in faucet design at the Fuorisalone 2016 in Milan. Unique concept faucets made from unusual materials. In intriguing shapes. Presented to an enthusiastic international design community. Created by the vanguard of design.

The theme of the AXOR WaterDream 2016 was ultimate customization. Creative minds from a variety of disciplines were invited. The goal: to push the boundaries when it came to faucet design. To experiment with new materials and production processes. To discuss the significance and presentation of water within interior design.

Creative faucet concepts.

Five one-off designs. Five materials. Five design partners.

Clay, granite, wood, marble or brass. The possibilities for customization are endless. In the AXOR WaterDream 2016, designs were developed using materials that are unusual for the sanitation industry.

Any exciting dialog incorporates different viewpoints. As well as AXOR’s existing design partners – such as Front and Jean-Marie Massaud – three other renowned designers also contributed to the discussion: David Adjaye, Werner Aisslinger, and GamFratesi. Multiple visions. Multiple ideas. For innovative concepts in faucet design.
