The Hansgrohe Group’s design brand, AXOR, which is renowned for reinventing bathroom experiences via unwavering engineering and design prowess, announced the launch of its exclusive store in Kolkata. AXOR’s commitment to Eastern India is demonstrated by this noteworthy addition to its expanding footprint.

Ajay Arya, Founder, Square Designs, and other eminent guests graced the occasion.

AXOR’s newest thermostats, the AXOR ShowerSelect ID, a sophisticated and clever hidden thermostat system created in partnership with Stuttgart-based design studio PHOENIX, were also unveiled at the opening event.

The new studio space, which is located at Odyssey Distributor Pvt. Ltd., PS Peninsula in Topsia, is a testament to AXOR’s continued dedication to developing immersive, design-led environments throughout India. The Kolkata location is designed to serve as a central location for architects, interior designers, and homeowners to learn more about the brand’s innovations, craftsmanship, and personalization options.

Now available in India, the AXOR ShowerSelect ID represents a new generation of user-friendly, ultra-flat shower controls. The collection, which comes in three geometric design languages—round, soft square, and angular—marks a significant advancement in concealed shower control with its monolithic paddle controls with tactile haptic feedback, easy temperature control, and a safe 40°C safety lock.

AXOR’s renowned FinishPlus surfaces, which provide customization in finishes like Matt Black, Brushed Gold Optic, Brushed Red Gold, and Brushed Nickel, elevate the product. For architects and developers working on modular bathroom plans, the ShowerSelect ID is a crucial tool because it works with the AXOR iBox universal 2 concealed installation system, allowing for easy setup and future upgrades.

The new studio will offer complementary AXOR shower systems, finish sets, and hidden solutions in addition to the ShowerSelect ID thermostats, enabling clients to imagine fully furnished, high-end spaces. Every installation has been created to show how AXOR’s modular product line can be tailored to meet the particular requirements of both residential and commercial settings.

AXOR’s larger plan to increase its footprint in India by developing experience-driven retail spaces includes the Kolkata location. It is anticipated that both residential and hospitality projects will find inspiration, product specifications, and design consultation in the new studio. The brand is committed to creating meaningful dialogues about craftsmanship, classic style, and technological advancement even as it grows its national footprint.
