The new Hansgrohe product was displayed to the public on the 7th April at Milan Furniture Fair. This unusual bathroom or kitchen faucet is the result of the collaboration between designer Philippe Starck and Axor. The Axor Starck V Collection combines the classic technique function of a faucet with a visual experience offered by the turning of the water into a vortex and the free fall into the sink. The upper part of the faucet, where the vortex of the water occurs and where the water falls is transparent. Hansgrohe family’s passion for water is reflected in the design concept that is as artistic as functional.

4月7日，新的汉斯格洛产品在米兰家具交易会上向公众展示。这个不寻常的浴室或厨房水龙头是设计师菲利普·斯塔克和Axor合作的结果。Axor Starck V系列结合了水龙头的经典技术功能和将水变成漩涡和自由落入水槽所提供的视觉体验。水龙头的上部，在那里发生水的漩涡，水落在那里是透明的。汉斯格洛家族对水的热爱体现在设计理念上，这种设计理念既具有功能性，又具有艺术性。

Philippe Grohe, the brand chief of Axor, declares: “My father Klaus Grohe has long been preoccupied with exploring the vortex phenomenon. His idea of using the vortex to enable people to experience water was fundamental in the creation of this mixer. Axor Starck V is the result of successfully combining technical know-how with the ultimate in water and product design expertise and decades of experience in bathroom design”. Top designer Philippe Starck, who has already developed in collaboration with Axor, four successful collections of bathroom supplies, proved to be the ideal partner for the development of such an artistic and functional product. Axor Starck V Collection gives options for the colors white, chrome or brass.

Axor的品牌负责人菲利普·格罗赫宣称：“我的父亲克劳斯·格罗赫长期以来一直致力于探索漩涡现象。他利用漩涡来让人们体验水的想法，是创造这种混合器的基础。Axor Starck V是成功地将技术诀窍与水和产品设计专业知识以及几十年浴室设计经验相结合的结果“。顶级设计师菲利普·斯塔克(Philippe Starck)已经与Axor合作开发了四款成功的浴室用品系列，被证明是开发这种艺术和功能产品的理想合作伙伴。Axor Starck V系列提供白色，铬或黄铜颜色的选择。

How can we truly experience the power and beauty of water close-up, in our own bathroom? According to Philippe Starck, Axor Starck V is “a mixer that has been reduced to the absolute minimum: completely transparent, practically invisible, and the source of a natural wonder – the vortex.” The transparent spout, made of organically-shaped crystal glass, makes the water visible and blends in with its surroundings. The beauty and vitality of the vortex combines the functional and emotional aspects of water, making it the central focus. You will find more on the website of Hansgrohe.

在我们自己的浴室里，我们怎样才能真正体验水的力量和美丽呢？菲利普·斯塔克(Philippe Starck)认为，Axor Starck V是“一种已降至绝对最低限度的混合器：完全透明、几乎看不见的、自然奇迹的源头-漩涡。”这种由有机水晶玻璃制成的透明喷口，使水清晰可见，并与周围环境融合在一起。漩涡的美丽和活力结合了水的功能和情感方面，使它成为焦点。你会在Hansgrohe的网站上找到更多。
