Judge's Picks Axor Starck Organic Faucet by Philippe Starck for Axor Retailing from $520, this organic faucet designed by Philippe Starck offers a low 0.9 GPM setting, as well as a 1.3 GPM setting for extra volume. Tim Odom chose the faucet as his Judge's Pick because he loves the organic nature of the design. "It's art that functions, and its ﬂuid shape will make a statement in any space and is certain to be a conversation starter," he added. "I would personally use this faucet in my own home and could really see it in a contemporary or transitional-style home or environment." The faucets offer a 40 or 60 percent water savings, depending on the setting, and water ﬂow and temperature are controlled separately.
