Meanwhile from the Axor brand, the limelight will be shared by Axor One Colors curated by Baber Osgerby, which extends last year’s Axor One bathroom collection with a selected palette of coloured faucets and fixtures inspired by a specific set of naturally occurring interactions between light, colour, and water; Citterio, an icon of modern bathroom design; MyEdition flat, modern and minimal faucets; and the Axor Edge and Axor One shower sets with latest accessories.

Hansgrohe returns to the show this month, having received enthusiastic response to its participation in the Hotel Show in Saudi Arabia last year.

“We garnered fantastic feedback from both visitors and partners after our participation last year. This marked our inaugural exhibition in Saudi Arabia, where our primary objective was to convey our commitment to water,” Al Ahmed commented.

“Reuniting with everyone in person following the pandemic was truly heartening. The exhibition served as a remarkable platform to unveil our cutting-edge innovations and novel offerings, allowing us to engage effectively with our esteemed clients,” he added.

According to Andreas Wolf, Head of Middle East & CIS at Hansgrohe, Hotel & Hospitality Saudi Arabia presents an excellent opportunity for Hansgrohe and Axor to present their collections and new products to potential clients and influencers in the region.

Commenting on the company’s performance in the region, Wolf said: “Our expansion within the region has been nothing short of rapid. While the business landscape underwent a profound transformation in the wake of the pandemic, we adeptly navigated the ensuing challenges. Through strategic resilience and unwavering determination, we not only weathered the storm but also achieved remarkable growth over the past years.”
