When Walter Diamond and Lou Snyder founded Snyder Diamond in 1949, they set out to provide the latest, world-class trends in bath and kitchen hardware for their Los Angeles community. Now, 75 years and three showrooms later, the still independent and family-owned company has become one of the preeminent destinations for kitchen and bathroom offerings—be it ranges, refrigerators, bathtubs or decorative showers.
Of course, any showroom is only as good as the lines it stocks. Among the 300-plus brands in its arsenal is Axor, which Snyder Diamond has been carrying since its inception in 1993. An elevated extension of Germany’s well-respected Hansgrohe brand, Axor signifies a new wave in kitchen and bathroom fixtures. From the latest generation diamond drilling machine used on the bathroom basins from the Edge collection to the sleek kitchen faucets created alongside renowned designers like Philippe Starck and Antonio Citterio, Axor consistently bridges the gap between innovation and elegance.
And Axor’s wares don’t just look good, they’re also designed with sustainability in mind. As part of the Hansgrohe Group, Axor uses green electricity and its carbon-neutral facilities to make its inventory. Additionally, Axor is focused on converting all water-consuming products to meet ECO requirements by 2030—without sacrificing performance and appearance.
It’s that careful mix of form, function, and eco-friendliness Axor brings to each of its collections that has made the German brand an intrinsic part of Snyder Diamond for the past 30 years.
“Its focus on high-quality materials and cutting-edge design has been a great addition to our brand portfolio and pairs perfectly with our SoCal homeowner and design-trade customer seeking elegant, innovative, highly customizable design solutions for their bathroom and kitchen spaces,” Russ Diamond, Snyder Diamond’s president, says of the long-standing partnerships.
In fact, Snyder Diamond reveals it carries over 2,000 of the brand’s SKUs and displays 60 products across its showrooms in Pasadena, Santa Monica, and Van Nuys. After all, a great collaboration—especially one that has spanned decades—truly knows no bounds.
