Anke Sohn, head of global marketing at AXOR, moderates the AXOR Futures talk: "Resources here on earth are finite, unlike the multitude of our ideas, desires and aspirations. This also means that our attitude towards design is changing. We want it to be meaningful and long-lasting. Our primary goal is to combine our outstanding designs with excellence in manufacturing and innovative technology to create products that last a lifetime. Promoting conscious consumption and long-lasting design is our contribution to a more sustainable world."
