Hansgrohe AG, the premiere producer of lavatory fittings and showerheads, was credited for its inventive designs at the Construction Week Awards 2011, held at The Westin in Dubai last month. The Etihad Towers project, for which Hansgrohe supplied its Focus S mixers, a variety of sink, bath tub and shower mixers renowned for its simple, elegant design and functionality, was awarded GCC Tower Project of the year.

Additionally, Axor, the designer brand of Hansgrohe AG, will be presented with the distinguished 2012 German Design Award in Gold in Feb 2012. The prize will be awarded for the Axor Bouroullec collection mixers, designed for Axor by French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

Dirk Schilmoeller, Selling Manager Middle East & North Africa, commented : “With our designer brand Axor we create “Designer Visions for Your Bathroom”. Thanks to the unique partnership with internationally famous product designers, architects and interior designers including Philippe Starck, Antonio Citterio, Jean-Marie Massaud, Patricia Urquiola, the Bouroullec brothers and Phoenix Design, plenty of the brand’s collections have reached iconic status in toilet design such as the Axor Bouroullec collection that has been specially praized this year.”

Having received its premier prize for design in 1974, Hansgrohe AG has lately gained several hundred awards and accolades. This year, the world lavatory fittings and showerheads manufacturer has been able to confirm its position and soar to number eleven among the 1,900 companies noted on the Global Forum Design corporate rankings.

Major design and growing demand

For Hansgrohe, good design isn’t complete - instead , it simply fulfils its purpose. 2010 was a record year for Hansgrohe, and requirement for products from Schiltach continues to grow, whilst turnover is steadily increasing both in Germany and abroad.

Hansgrohe has been awarded numerous awards, with the prize collection of the globally successful SME having grown to 373 prizes this year, confirming the outstanding design talents of the company and its creative partners.

The silver award of the “Design Award of the Fed. Republic of Germany” went to Hansgrohe AG for the second time in a row in 2011. From the rough 1,500 products nominated for one of the 25 “Prizes of Prizes”, the jury decided on the wall-fixed sink from the Axor Urquiola collection.

Hansgrohe has won many awards for their perfect work and the Middle East is not an exception. The Firm has worked on countless prestigious projects in the region, including Masdar Town in Abu Dhabi, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Marina Towers in Beirut and the Clock Tower in Mecca, writes tagza.com.
