A Twist on Tradition
Award-winning Australian tapware brand Phoenix has recently launched a new product range designed by its own in-house creative team. The Axia collection, instantly recognisable by its ultra-thin, crisp lines and unique detailing, has been two years in the making and has already received multiple international awards
A highlight of Phoenix Tapware’s new Axia collection is the wall-mounted basin or bath mixer set, its non-traditional design inspired by the elegant shape of folded sheet metal. The large dial and long outlet sit in perfect balance to create a subtle statement

The unconventional profile of the basin mixer, a highlight of the collection, was inspired by folded sheet metal, and its challenging execution is an achievement for Phoenix’s design team. ‘Our challenge was achieving a 6.5-millimetre-high, super lean outlet through a one-piece casting. This results in a strong signature with a precision-controlled aesthetic,’ explains Ban Liu, an RMIT-trained senior designer at Phoenix Tapware.
Other standout pieces in the collection include a unique lever-less handle on the conventional mixer cartridge for basin and vessel mixers, which allows for a pared-back look. The full range of Axia products is available in chrome, matt black or brushed nickel.
