Humans often navigate life through ingrained routines: rising at dawn, having meals, working, and retreating to rest, only to repeat the cycle until it becomes instinctual. Among the many spaces we pass through in this daily rhythm, the bathroom remains essential, yet often overlooked as a place of retreat. At home, bathrooms are typically judged by their utility, with little regard for emotional resonance or aesthetic allure. Yet, this perception changes the moment the context shifts.

Crystal Home, a leading distributor of luxury bathroom furnishings from globally renowned brands, invites us to reimagine that transformative moment of entering a hotel, when every detail, from the grand entrance to the intimate serenity of the bathroom, builds anticipation for something extraordinary. The distinction between the home and the hotel lies in the emotional undercurrents that shape our perceptions. Many are captivated by the opulent ambiance of a premier hotel suite, where the atmosphere of leisurely escape kindles a yearning for something beyond the ordinary.

For designers, luxury and uniqueness are not mere happenstance but experiences meticulously crafted. Creating a space that evokes awe and indulgence hinges on the thoughtful interplay of details, culminating in a bathroom that not only enhances well-being but also harmonizes aesthetic refinement with practical functionality. Crystal Home proudly presents the AXOR Citterio and AXOR Citterio C collections, designed to elevate this curated experience, whether in the refined ambiance of a hotel or the intimate sanctuary of one’s own home.

AXOR Citterio is a bathroom collection by AXOR in collaboration with renowned Italian designer Antonio Citterio, one of the creative forces behind the recently opened Bulgari Hotels & Resorts properties in Tokyo, Rome, and Paris. Designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS (Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel), a firm long trusted by global luxury brands such as Bulgari, these hotels reflect a meticulous approach where no space is overlooked. Every detail, from the overarching concept to the in-room experience, embodies refined luxury. A visit to the Tokyo outpost, housed within Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, reveals how the chrome finish of AXOR Citterio elevates the warmth of hinoki-wood furniture and complements the saffron orange and black accents often found in the local palette. The result is a visual harmony that bridges international design sophistication with a distinct sense of place.

In Rome, Bulgari’s birthplace, the classic forms and refined lines of the AXOR Citterio collection harmonize effortlessly with the surrounding artistic milieu, complementing an exquisite palette of marbles—verdant green from Brazil, golden yellow from Iran, and rich red from Sudan. Hand-laid mosaic walls further elevate this space, blending contemporary sophistication with artisanal finesse. Meanwhile, in Paris, the epicenter of fashion and fragrance, the collection’s showers, faucets, and complementary bathroom fixtures, such as bathtubs and basins, radiate understated luxury. Deliberately designed to counter the city’s vibrant, flamboyant energy, the interiors embrace a serene ambiance, defined by soft tones and deep blacks, fostering a tranquil retreat within each guest room.

The AXOR collections, including their showers and faucets, are distinguished by customizable water flow systems tailored to diverse user needs. Integrated with innovative technologies like EcoSmart and CoolStart for water and energy conservation, alongside precise temperature control, these features transcend mere aesthetics. They deliver an immersive bathing experience with the meticulously crafted atmosphere akin to a rejuvenating spa session.

Alongside the AXOR Citterio collection, known for its sharp, refined elegance, the AXOR Citterio C collection emerges as an equally sophisticated counterpart. This newer line introduces a softer, more rounded design, crafted for designers and users who favor a sleeker, more tactile aesthetic.

The graceful contours of AXOR Citterio C distinguish it from the original collection’s bold, linear forms, which draw beauty from straightforward geometric clarity. Enhanced by AXOR FinishPlus PVD technology, the collection offers exceptional scratch resistance and a range of customizable color finishes. Personalization options include custom sizing, bi-color pairings, and distinctive surface textures—from rhombic cut patterns to engraved initials—ensuring every piece reflects the user’s unique style. With the AXOR Signature service, even the most unique preferences can be meticulously realized, ensuring a bespoke solution that perfectly aligns with individual desires.
