Platinum – gold – silver: Axor, Hansgrohe and Pharo were represented in all categories of the ADEX awards in 2009.
Decorated!Schiltach May 2009. There is no let-up in reports around the world of Hansgrohe’s success in garnering design awards and top marks for its innovations. In March and April 2009 alone the list of design awards and top marks for sanitation products from the Schiltach hot-bed of ideas grew by a further seven to just under 300. In the USA a total of four products received ADEX design awards (Award for Design Excellence), which is sponsored by the magazine “Design Journal”. The Pharo SkyLine shower panel received a platinum award. The Hansgrohe Croma Classic 100 Green head shower and the Axor Citterio M three-hole basin mixer were given gold awards and the Hansgrohe Showerpipe Connect received silver. Top marks were registered by Axor products in Poland as well. The magazine “Lazienka” (“The Bathroom”) got sales personnel in the sanitation exhibitions to vote for the best-selling basin mixers, graded in price segments. Four Axor products made the top 10 ten in their respective price range, one of them being the winning fitting Axor Citterio. The Axor Starck fitting came second. Innovations also won awards from Stuttgart. The magazine AIT (architecture, interior design, technical installations) presented its 10th “Architecture and Technology 2009” innovation award. The winner of the award chosen by the public was the Axor Urquiola room divider, made by the designer Patricia Urquiola.
