Axolotl at DesignEX 2010

 

Axolotl Lucent was shortlisted for Best New Product at DesignEX this year. We of course, are thrilled but not surprised. This unique and innovative product, takes glass to a new level of possibilities. Panels are deep carved to a standard or custom design, and injected with transparent dyes creating a colour feature that can represent understated simplicity or a dramatic kaleidoscope of colour.

Lucent naturally features on our stand, injecting a green hue into the angled glass blades forming one wall of the stand. The facing wall of double lasercut screens in Axolotl Treasury Bronze mirrors the three dimensional design of the Lucent panels.

Our new timber inspired range, Ingrain, forms the wall paneling in Pewter, and in Bronze Florentine for the flooring, demonstrating both its versatility as well as durability. A floating bench, bonded with Axolotl Cayman contrasts beautifully with a splash of lawn.

Illuminated Miro glass laminated panels displaying vibrant images of butterflies line the interior walls and a section of the floor features Axolotl Lunar flooring in Pewter. The entire structure is wrapped in Axolotl Viper in Bronze from our Skin collection.

Special to thanks to our partners: Philip Chia, JSB Lighting, Bang & Olufsen, Sydney Glass, Linea Interiors and De De Ce.

Dye-hard Designs

 

Extending the creative boundaries of dye-hard designers, Axolotl is introducing its colourful new architectural glass panels.

Called Lucent, the range takes screening to an enlightening new level. Each glass panel is deep carved to a standard or custom design, with translucent dyes injecting a kaleidoscope of colour.

Lucent is ideal for screening where the play of natural light can be manipulated to maximum effect.

Colour can be applied on one or both faces of glass, creating depth and tridimensionality, with bespoke designs allowing the greatest control over the level of visual obscurity.

The Lucent range has commercial and residential screening applications from intricate detailing to large-scale decorative features.

Link up with Veil

 

18 months on from winning best new product at Designex for 'Link', Axolotl have produced some beautiful new designs when combining the technology of 'Link' and the subtle beauty of 'Veil', our carved glass range.

The designs above, Poppy, Avalanche and Espresso, are just three examples of the endless possibilities to create a stunning glass feature in your domestic or commercial project.

Rust is inlaid into the glass on one face and a complementary pattern is carved onto the other, creating depth and tridimensionality. This product is ideal for any location where a sense of privacy is required, whilst allowing light and movement to be retained.

A similarly striking effect can be achieved through Veil alone which involves carving a design to both faces. Varying degrees of visual obscurity can be achieved, depending on the chosen pattern and scale, providing varying degrees of privacy. Our latest designs in this range are Frond, Oceanic, Lava and Nexus.

Glass Reflected in Metal

 

Now it’s easy to creating a cohesive designer look in metal and glass. Almost any motif, photographic reference or illustration can be transferred between the two mediums offering virtually unlimited applications. The work shown here has been produced using Axolotl Rust applied to a lasercut screen door. The same design was sandblasted to a frameless glass door. The end effect creates individual impact, with the sum of the parts even greater through the harmony of the design story.

Both processes are equally able to be utilised on doors, feature walls, counter fronts, garage doors - practically anywhere, inside or out, where you desire to create a unique impact.

Rouse Hill

 

Axolotl have been busy this last quarter working on projects as diverse as the new Westpac on George Street,  the Wentworth Hotel and the new Rouse Hill Town Centre. All are major projects and all quite diverse in their style.

Rouse Hill, pictured above and below, comprises over 1000 sq m of rust coated lasercut aluminium screens, door frames and I beams. To match the design, the glass in the 48 four metre tall door frames were printed with Axolotl’s new Miro laminated glass 13.52mm thick.

The overall effect is quite spectacular thanks to the genius of Philip Chia. It’s definitely worth a trip to Rouse Hill for a look.

Axolotl currently have over 150 projects underway that include Lindt, Star City, Rockpool, Park Regis, American Express and Ernst and Young.

Miro - Visions in Glass

 

Miro shows off its beautiful qualities at the Loft Lounge in Melbourne, and on the stunning Milne & Stonehouse commission located in Brisbane's inner city.

The secret of Miro lies in the printed interlayer which is laminated between two sheets of glass. Any image, pattern or graphic can be incorporated and the interlayer can be clear, translucent or opaque. Both faces can be viewed but are always protected making the finished product both practical and versatile.

Internally the panels can be used in feature walls, doors, balustrades, art pieces, splashbacks or shower screens. Externally the designs can be used for awnings, balustrades and facades.

Any design or image can be printed - so Miro isn’t just amazing to look at, but one of a kind

Axolotl Wins 3 Awards at Designex

 

 Winner: LINK

Company: AXOLOTL

Judges Comments: “The judges were uniformly blown away by the design potential of LINK. We could have spent hours guessing the technology: from designer to inventor to materials scientist: every judge was enthralled.”

We are blown away by the accolades and interest in LINK, but not surprised. ‘Link’ is the perfect integration of science and beauty that can only be delivered by the integration of Axolotl Metal and Axolotl Glass.

This unique product contrasts a traditionally course material with the delicate nature of glass so the rust appears to float in the air. Link can be used for screens, feature walls, doors, signage and balustrades. In fact anywhere you require beauty and durability as the product can be used in and outdoors. As with all our products, the final design can also be custom made to your specifications.

As well as ‘Best New Product’ award at Designex, Axolotl won two awards for ‘Best Stand 30-70m’ and ‘Best Dressed Stand’. Rusted screens formed the walls and ceiling and Axolotl's ‘Miro’ glass laminated floor featured an enlarged clover leaf design. Link was of course included, as columns and external glass panels. The PVC poles were coated in ‘Skin’ by Axolotl Metal. This beautiful stand was created by Philip Chia.

Glass Houses

 

This beautiful bathroom is a complete study in glass with every surface a shining testimony to its beauty.

Stephen Varady designed the bathroom, specifying heavy weight glass for the bath and shower screens and colour backed glass for the walls and floor.

Glass is a natural alternative to tiles, boasting the same easy care properties but with a broader creative palette that is much more unique.

Axolotl can design and manufacture to any specification and creative vision, in and out of the bathroom. Give us a call if you would like to discuss how you can turn your design project into a glass masterpiece.

Jewel in the Crown

 

The Lustre range developed by Axolotl has certainly created a stir and it’s easy to see why.

The counter and cupboards pictured here were specified for Macquarie Bank in Melbourne and manufactured in Lustre ‘Onyx’ to create a contemporary and unique look.

Exclusive to Axolotl and with six beautiful satin finishes in the range, the glass panels can be carved to any design or backlit to create signage or feature walls.
