precious space and compact luxury

AXOR identified the megatrend of ‘compact luxury’ as the world becomes increasingly urbanized – and will continue so in the future. rapid urbanization has lifted customers’ expectations at home higher than ever but left space at a premium. the concept recognizes that new urban luxury is not measured only in square meters nor the quality of one’s private time; it is about the individual experience in a space. in response, the design brand creates objects that are timeless in style and quality, and express one’s individuality while enabling living consciously, holistically and harmoniously.

‘our idea of luxury has changed. true luxury is no longer a question of size, but of the individual experience in, and with, space. we call it ‘compact luxury’ and believe that this will be the future of urban living. to further explore this theory, we have invited some experts in the field to share their thoughts with us,’ says anke sohn, head of global brand marketing AXOR.
