AXOR X ANTONIO CITTERIO : PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF INDIVIDUALISATION
Slender , elegant and exceptionally refined , AXOR Citterio C reinterprets the washbasin faucet for a new era that demands ever more comfort and individuality from ever smaller bathroom spaces . Minimalist in spirit , with soft contours and a sensuous form , the faucet invites the touch while intriguing the eye from every angle . Its signature detail , a fine chamfer encircling the outlet and lever handle , extends to all pieces in the collection . The optional cubic cut pattern for the handle provides depth to the surface and a decorative touch while communicating the direction of its operation , with a partially textured surface for onehandle arrangements and a fully textured surface for two-handle arrangements . The sleek form of the minimalistic design is complemented by the faucet ’ s resource-conserving CoolStart function and a flow rate of just 5 litres per minute . At the washbasin , faucets come in three different heights — 90mm , 125mm , and 250mm — and multiple types , including wall-mounted 2-hole and 3-hole versions . For the bathtub , options include a floor – standing bath mixer , a 3-hole rim-mounted bath mixer ( including the sBox ), and a 3-hole wall-mounted bath mixer with a shower holder . In the shower , an overhead 270 1-jet is available in three installation types : ceilingintegrated , with a ceiling connector or shower arm .
