A new era for the bathroom
AXOR Incava designed by Antonio Citterio ushers in a new era for the bathroom, elevating the shower area into a space of serenity and ritual. Combining three distinct functions—thermostatic control, hand shower, and storage niche—this innovative architectural object discreetly disappears into the wall, bringing full focus to the shower experience.
Designed for seamless integration, visual clarity and effortless ease, AXOR Incava is highly customizable and universally compatible with AXOR collections and programs.
Three functions combined
Recessed into the wall, AXOR Incava takes the form of a softsquare escutcheon that protrudes a mere 11 millimeters. Its smooth, flat front presents the user with an integrated thermostatic module, a hidden hand shower, and an expansive storage niche, ten centimeters deep. The thermostatic module features surface-level buttons for select functions, as well as two push-out knobs with knurled grips, one for water volume and the other, with built-in anti-scalding mechanism*, for temperature.
An architectural object
The hidden 1jet hand shower with retractable hose rests flush with the control panel surface, practically indiscernible to the eye. Easily released via a push mechanism, it offers a gentle yet invigorating PowderRain spray. Perfect for keeping bath and shower products in reach, the storage niche features a discreet water drainage solution and an optional ambient light compatible with dimmer solutions. The escutcheon, niche backplate, and control symbols can be individually specified in AXOR FinishPlus surfaces and personalized further via AXOR Signature.
“AXOR Incava reflects a fundamental rethinking of the bathroom. By eliminating protrusions—no more handles, knobs, or visible fittings—it transforms the bathroom from a technical space into a clean, integrated environment where the ritual of bathing becomes serene. You transcend the idea of the bathroom, in the traditional sense, and gain a new spatial quality.”Antonio Citterio
For bath areas as well as showers
Ideally suited for bath areas as well as showers, AXOR Incava comprises a finish set and a basic set, each offered in two- or three-function configurations, with or without ambient lighting.
The finish set is easily detachable, allowing quick access to the basic set for maintenance. Functions can be freely assigned to any compatible AXOR shower or bath component, ensuring maximum flexibility in planning.
The finish set is available in standard Chrome or in vast exclusive AXOR FinishPlus surfaces. For an even more seamless integration with the shower space, the backplate of the storage niche can be finished in the same material as the surrounding wall. An optional black glass shelf is also available as part of AXOR Incava. AXOR Signature offers extensive customization opportunities for the entire AXOR Incava program, including the changing of symbols.
Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio is an architect, designer and perfectionist. His signature stands for an effortless mix of classic shapes and high-end materials. Citterio considers space first, factoring in architecture and design subsequently. AXOR Citterio, his first bathroom collection, reflects this approach. Monumental yet timeless, the collection draws from the neoclassical design of the 1930s. The AXOR Citterio C and AXOR Citterio E collections, as well as the AXOR ShowerSphere and AXOR Universal Softsquare Accessories range, all fall under the same credo of perfection and Italian elegance.
*Built-in SafetyStop technology intially restricts the water temperature to 40 °C - ensuring safer showering. After pushing the SafetyStop button warmer water can be used. This mechanism is subject to material wear, must be properly calibrated and must be exchanged throughout product service life.
