Philippe Starck and Kuysen make bathrooms extraordinary

MANILA, Philippines - Extraordinary is what you get at the Kuysen showroom with the Hansgrohe flagship store featuring the latest Axor and Philippe Starck collaboration.

 â€œWe’ve only had one mandate when we started more than 20 years ago – that’s to bring in global industrial and architectural brands that are recognized for being leaders in design and innovation,” shares Jensen Go, president of Kuysen Enterprises. “We’re proud to say that we’re bringing in nothing short of an extraordinary experience to the discerning Filipino consumer.”

Since it started in 1989 by Go’s father, Go Kuy Sen, Kuysen Enterprises has been the exclusive importer and distributor of more than 30 premium global brands, starting with Swarovski owned Tyrolit from Austria, a world-renowned name in bonded abrasives. In a span of four years and with the significant upswing in the property development sector, Kuysen forged a partnership with celebrated German bathroom manufacturing leaders Hansgrohe and Duravit to usher in the company’s involvement in the finishing products industry.

After 24 years, together with its subsidiary Sanitec Import Ventures Inc., which markets Asian bathroom brands, Kuysen Enterprises boasts a portfolio of over 70 name brands, including Nahm by Villeroy and Boch Thailand, Frattini and Teorema faucets from Italy, Kaldewei enameled steel tubs from Germany and Hotsprings Spas from the United States among others.

Kuysen unveiled its upscale showroom at The Eton Residences Greenbelt with Philippe Grohe, head of the Axor brand, to introduce Hansgrohe’s premiere line, the Axor Starck Organic collection. The Axor Starck Organic collection was designed by the renowned iconic designer, Philippe Starck.  

Hansgrohe is happy to be growing together with Kuysen Enterprises and this collaboration has signaled the brand’s expansion in the Philippine market, gearing for better things to come. 

Axor, the designer brand of Hansgrohe, has been working with Philippe Starck for more than 20 years now. In 1994, together (with Hansgrohe’s exacting technology and Starck’s extraordinary vision) they took the sanitation industry by surprise with Axor Starck. The landmark collection eventually became a revolutionary part of bathroom history.

Philippe Starck and Axor are poised to do nothing less with the Axor Starck Organic collection.  â€œNature and people are setting the example: the elegance of minimalism is evident in the form of a branch, a petal or a body – yet these are also filled with vitality, energy and efficiency,” notes Starck. These very same things are the design inspirations for the newest collection.  The organic lines and flowing transition of the design echo the curve of a woman’s shoulder insomuch as the quiet strength of a wooden branch.

The collection is also Axor’s – and perhaps even the world’s – most efficient line of bathroom fixtures to date. Philippe Grohe, head of the Axor Brand, shares that the Axor Starck Organic’s innovative operating concept enables its users to experience the sustainable use of water.

The new mixer boasts a flow rate of just 3.5 liters per minute on the standard setting (compared to the seven liters per minute consumed by the average faucet). And even when a bit more power and water volume is required, the spray can be boosted up to five liters per minute – which even then, still represents 40 percent more water savings over a regular faucet.

 Kuysen Enterprises, one of the country’s premier distributor of bathroom fixtures, tiles, and furniture, is proud to launch the Axor Starck Organic line. “It’s quite an honor to be entrusted with something like the Axor Starck Organic collection,” says Jensen Go, President of Kuysen Enterprises.  “A powerful design, intelligent functions, the efficient use of resources --- all of these come together to create an extraordinary product and a collection that is bursting with organic energy and ecological values. We have no doubt that our discerning clientele will recognize and respond positively to this extraordinary collection.”
