TECHNOLOGY MEETS TRADITION
AXOR Montreux is a range that symbolises change and technological advancement against a backdrop of tradition. The range is modelled on the turn-ofthe-century period of the 1900s, a time of technological advancement when people had just begun to open their eyes to globalisation, when electricity was becoming more abundant and the motorcar was at the forefront of mass production. The AXOR Montreux represents the opulence and extravagance in this era of change and advancement in Europe’s history. MONTREUX BY PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is a leading independent design studio with more than 700 international awards behind its name. Phoenix Design has been one of AXOR’s design partners for over two decades, and its unique touch is evident in the beauty of the Montreux range. With a credo based on three factors – function, design and comfort – the brilliant minds at Phoenix Design brought their best to the fore on this project.
