Antonio Citterio. Architect, designer and perfectionist. Nobody else has had such an impact on Italian design. His style reveals a combination of timeless shapes and high-quality materials. Uncompromising. And that’s precisely why his products, interiors and architectural concepts are so popular. From the cutlery to the lamp. From the kitchen to the bathroom collection. From the chair to the company headquarters. Always low-key. In the interests of functionality. And of beauty. Because, according to Citterio: “If you enjoy the ritual of washing every day, you should be able to enjoy using beautiful products for it.”

Antonio Citterio handles the entire spectrum: from hotel bathrooms to luxurious private bathrooms. An important wealth of experience. For bathroom design. For AXOR. Implemented in three collections since 2001.

MERGING OF HOME DÉCOR AND BATHROOM ELEMENTS.

The architect focuses on the room. To bring together architecture and design. This is reflected in the first bathroom collection from Antonio Citterio for AXOR. Inspired by the design of the neo-classicism of the 1930s. Monumental, yet timeless. Sophisticated. Award-winning.

Followed by the second collection. Then a third. Plus an accessories range. All based on the philosophy of perfection, of Italian elegance: AXOR Citterio, AXOR Citterio M, AXOR Citterio E, AXOR Universal Accessories.
