AXOR proudly presents AXOR Archivio, a new bathroom collection by renowned design studio Barber Osgerby. Distilling decades of design influence into a contemporary yet enduring language, AXOR Archivio celebrates archival forms and classical details reimagined for today’s interiors. The result is a collection that bridges past and present—quietly expressive, beautifully balanced, and crafted to feel at home in any architectural setting.

Drawing from historic typologies and transitional design principles, AXOR Archivio unites soft silhouettes, flowing contours, and refined accents. Available with either distinctive bloom-like cross handles or sculptural lever handles, each product invites touch and conveys a sense of calm precision.

“We set out to create a new icon for AXOR—an object that is instantly recognisable and enduring. The collection looks to the past while presenting it through a refined, contemporary lens, achieving a seamless balance between past and future,” says Barber Osgerby.

Olivier Sogno, VP of AXOR, Hansgrohe SE, underscores the collection’s role in the brand’s evolution:

“With AXOR Archivio, we are advancing our commitment to timeless design while expanding the architectural flexibility we offer to interior designers and bathroom planners. The collection’s harmony of form and detail demonstrates how enduring design can feel both familiar and refreshingly new.”

With its elevated materiality, meticulous craftsmanship, and impeccably balanced proportions, AXOR Archivio embodies the distinctive sense of quality that has defined the AXOR brand on the global stage. The collection emanates a quiet yet unmistakably sophisticated luxury—created for discerning interiors where design culture, architectural intention, and exclusivity come together in effortless harmony.

Across wash basin, bath, and shower applications, AXOR Archivio reveals a coherent design language. Cross handles with white inlays reinterpret traditional hot-and-cold markers with subtle modernity. Smoothly curved spouts, bell-shaped bases, and thoughtful detailing speak to the craftsmanship behind the collection. Lever handles, with their natural rise and tactile appeal, provide an equally refined alternative. Offered in AXOR FinishPlus surfaces, AXOR Archivio empowers designers to create bold contrasts or soft tonal palettes across a wide variety of configurations, including single-hole, three-hole, wall-mounted, and freestanding designs.

Versatile Solutions Across the Bathroom

The signature three-hole faucet captures the essence of AXOR Archivio through its curved spout and softly shaped cross handles. Single-lever faucets come in a range of heights, while wall-mounted faucets are available in two- and three-hole variations with either handle style and in various spout lengths. The collection features a freestanding bathtub faucet as a visual standout, along with a wall-mounted bath spout and three-hole faucets for the tub.

AXOR Archivio encompasses concealed and exposed solutions for the shower, overhead and hand-held showers, shower sets, and a porter unit, providing designers with comprehensive flexibility.

A Unified, Enduring Language for Every Space

With its harmonious geometry, tactile principles, and broad adaptability, AXOR Archivio gives interior architects and bathroom planners a coherent design approach—one that feels timeless, expressive, and enduring across a full spectrum of bathroom ambiences.
