A new collection of innovative faucets combines design with responsible water use.

For this new collection, Starck was inspired by the essence of things. The minimalist style and character of Axor Starck Organic converge in an exclusive design of harmonious flowing lines reminiscent of shapes we see in nature giving a fascinating, powerful and sculptural immediacy to the collection. The controls are smoothly and naturally intergrated in the body of the faucet, they will always reflect a perfect image whatever the position. They stand out for their harmonious profile and ergonomic use as well as the clarity with which the current setting is indicated.

Pioneering low water consumption without any compromise in functionality, bringing a new water sensation, especially for the most frequently used wash basin mixers. The Axor research laboratory a new kind of water spray mixer for wash basins, that consists of 90 individual outlets, each producing countless gentle drops of water. This new and efficient shower spray for the basin not only provides a new sensation; it is also more funtional as it sprays a large surface area. Axor Starck Organic sets a new standard: a consumption of only 3.5 litres of water per minute, without any compromises in funtionality. It gives you the water you wish for -using less water.

The temperature and water flow are controlled separately. The water is turned on and off at the end of the spout. This is ergonomic, because the hands are right where the water emerges. Whereas the temperature is regulated at the top of the mixer. There, it may remain at the energy-saving cold position or at any other preferred setting. If the user wants to change the temperature, which is not always necessary, then this is done in a separate action. If a stronger spray is required on occasion, the flow rate can be boosted up to 5 litres per minute.

The name Axor Stark Organic stands not only for the collection’s design and responsible use of water an energy; it also points to sustainability aspects that are relevant already in the manufacturing process. Thanks to the special construction of the mixer, the walls of the basic body can cast using about one third less brass, hence consuming considerably less energy – than a conventionally produced model would.

The Axor Starck Organic collection consists of 40 products, covering all areas of the bathroom. Mixers for the wash basin come in four different heights and a wall-mounted solution. Mixers for the shower and bath tub focus on thermostatic technology for exposed and concealed-mounted solutions. The collection is complemented with a range of accessories.
