Talented designers personify Damixa
Damixa is famous all over the world for excellent Danish design. It is our partnerships with talented designers that will make the taps of the future.
Damixa is known for its premium design and that is how things will stay. This is why the company is working closely with trend-setting designers from Denmark and abroad to ensure that Damixa remains at the forefront of tap fittings for the homes of the future. “We always have to ensure that we both fulfil and exceed consumer expectation,” explains Signe Værbak, Product Manager at Damixa.
Design and function goes hand in hand
Designing a tap is a challenging task. It is at once an interior design object that reflects the style of the house and an indispensable everyday tool. Therefore,
Damixa’s design philosophy is that design and function should go hand in hand. This philosophy is reflected in the motto ‘When design makes sense’. We spend a lot of resources on identifying and understanding behaviour and expectations in kitchens and bathrooms. Because a Damixa tap should not only function well. Its design should also remain appealing for many years. Over the years, our taps have attracted widespread recognition and won several international design awards. We look forward to continuing the spread of the best of Danish design.
Damixa constantly invites young Danish designers and architects to submit designs for the taps of the future. For them it means their work may be seen by 300 million consumers. For us it offers surprising, exciting approaches to the appearance and functionality of taps.
Arkitema
Design Manager Anne Qvist from the well-known architects practice Arkitema is the woman behind Damixa’s Profile taps – beautiful minimalism for kitchens, bathrooms and showers. Based on Arkitema’s philosophy of creating cohesion between the product and its surroundings, Anne Qvist has designed a modern classic suitable for both old and new homes.
Anne Qvist says about her design of Profile: “I love good quality and I love everything that is simple and stylistically consistent. This was the basis for the Profile range which suits the times we are living in. We are busy in our everyday lives. We want to surround ourselves with good design and things just need to work every time. With Profile you know that the whole concept has really been thought through and that brings joy in everyday life.”
Gneissgroup
Gneissgroup is a Copenhagen design company with wild ideas and a hankering for innovation. The result of the first partnership between Gneissgroup and Damixa was the simple and ingenious G-Type range which has won an international design award. Designer Mikal Harrsen and architect Torben Jørgensen from Gneissgroup contacted Damixa themselves with the basic idea for the G-Type range – and the concept generated such enthusiasm in our Design Department that they immediately threw themselves into it.
Jakob Jensen
Damixa itself also has plenty of talent in its Design Department. Jakob Jensen from Damixa wondered why water could only run downwards from a tap when it made practical sense for it to be able to run upwards as well – for example if you want a drink of water. He and Damixa changed this notion with the Arc tap range. The spout can be turned from side to side and up and down to make it easy, for example, to get water into the corners of the sink when you need to clean it or fill a pan with water.
The many features and remarkable design of the tap range have won two international awards. “I was interested in combining the many functional options with a simple and stylistically consistent look which is so typical of good Danish design. That is why we here at Damixa for the first time ever used a joystick as a handle and artificial covering which is pleasant to the touch and clearly indicates where you need to grip to operate the product,” explains Jakob Jensen.
