Recessed shower set AXOR INCAVA

Designer
Designed by Antonio Citterio

Overview
AXOR Incava integrates shower control, a concealed hand shower and an integrated storage niche into a recessed architectural escutcheon, visually minimising hardware and focusing on the shower experience.

Concept & integration
Recessed with a softsquare escutcheon projecting 11 millimetres, AXOR Incava is developed for flush integration and visual clarity. The finish set detaches easily to access the basic set for maintenance. Functions can be assigned to compatible AXOR shower or bath components to enable flexible planning and straightforward integration with AXOR collections.

Three functions combined

• Thermostatic control: integrated thermostatic module with surface buttons and two push‑out knobs with knurled grips (one for flow, one with built‑in anti‑scalding SafetyStop limiting initial temperature to 40 °C)
• Hidden hand shower: 1‑jet hand shower sits flush in the panel and is released by push mechanism; retractable hose; PowderRain spray
• Storage niche: approximately 10 cm deep niche for bath and shower products, with discreet drainage and optional ambient lighting compatible with dimmers

Finish & customization
Finish set and basic set are offered in two‑ or three‑function variants, with or without ambient lighting. Standard finish: Chrome; additional options available via AXOR FinishPlus. Escutcheon, niche backplate and control symbols can be customised using AXOR Signature. The niche backplate may be finished to match surrounding wall material. Optional black glass shelf and light kit available.

Safety & service note
Built‑in SafetyStop initially limits water temperature to 40 °C; higher temperatures require deliberate override. SafetyStop is subject to wear, must be correctly calibrated and may require servicing or replacement during the product service life.

Use cases
Suitable for recessed installations in showers and bath areas where a minimalist, integrated control solution is required. Optional ambient lighting and dimmer compatibility support coordinated bathroom lighting concepts.
