The occasion marks the first time an Australian-designed tap has won an iF Product Design Award, affirming the stunning chrome and black basin mixer’s exceptional design and manufacture.

Award-winning Melbourne designers Phoenix Tapware created the Milli Axon tap in response to a growing demand for statement pieces in the bathroom. The resulting product is both modern and striking, with an elegant cylindrical profile and contrasting finishes of matte black and chrome.

“We are absolutely thrilled – what an accolade for Milli Axon and Phoenix. iF is such a prestigious award and it’s wonderful to see that Australian design is receiving international recognition,” said Reece Bathroom Marketing Manager Belinda Geels.

The iF Product Design Award-winning Milli Axon basin mixer is part of a complete range of tapware, showers and accessories available exclusively at Reece.

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
