Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec rethink the bathroom for Axor
While I changed into in Germany last month I saw this vanity. Notice how the shelf over the sink is likewise the tap.
Pretty cool idea and I love all of the tiered surfaces surrounding that sink. I learned while I was there that this sink and shelf are part of a new collection from Axor, the leading edge of the Hansgrohe brand. Brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec designed a collection of some 70 components that are intended to be mixed and matched to make a fully custom bath design.
A huge a part of that is that the sinks and tubs aren't pre-dilled. All you want is a carbide-tipped bore and you can have your taps be everywhere you want them. That is a amazing concept. Here are some glamor pictures of the collection.
My pals at Hansgrohe tell me that the Axor Bouroullec is already available in Europe and will be coming to North America this summer. You can see all of the components from the Axor Bouroullec on Axor's international website .
