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.

Nickel of Time

 

The lift realised in this makeover definitely justified the efforts, fast forwarding this foyer from the 80’s into a more sophisticated design.

The ceiling panelling in this building is the result of smooth nickel bonded to panels and then a cast texture created. The metals reflect off the ceiling panels making a most inviting entrance.

This texture is another new look created by Axolotl. This year alone we have introduced numerous new textures, metal combinations and applications.

 

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.

Smart Blade

 

Axolotl was the facade of choice for this blade wall in Bondi designed by Architects Johannson and Associates (AJA).

This superior facade system allows the panels to be mechanically fixed without showing exposed fixings.The end result as can be seen here, is a clean, neat finish that can also be fitted around complex shapes.

A Pearl Patina was applied to copper, enhancing the beautiful natural colours of the metal and resulting in a warm tone to blend perfectly into the environment.

Tall Wall

 

Pictured is one of two feature walls that were created for the Swire Group for Three Pacific Place in Hong Kong.

Constructed from over 1000 square metres of glass, the scale of this feature wall is only apparent when you view the person riding the escalator alongside it.

The first layer of glass panels feature Axolotl’s ‘Veil’ formed glass. The inner layer contains the Budha’s image printed to the laminated glass interlayer.

The wall is backlit to stunning effect.

Both walls were manufactured in Australia before being shipped to Hong Kong

Transparently Beautiful

 

One hundred and eight formed glass panels were manufactured to individual specification for this project at a Mascot business park.

Designed by Turner Associates and PMDL the beauty and versatility of formed glass is truly apparent when seen on this feature wall.

The glass is 10mm thick clear float glass with a custom ‘Spotzone’ texture.

 

Glass that Benz

 

Combining technical genius with beauty is the hallmark of Mercedes automotive design.

Likewise, Axolotl took glass to a whole new level with these formed and printed glass panels. Featuring the images of Carl Benz and other Mercedes designers, the panels were commissioned by Mercedes Benz for the Sydney and Melbourne Motor Shows.

Axolotl offers a vast range of signage solutions including formed glass, deep carved and matt blasted. With the introduction of an automatic cutting and enlargement processor, intricate design work, such as the work for Mercedes Benz, can now be replicated in any signage formats.

Institute of Sport

 

Axolotl’s Pearl Lustre glass was the material of choice for the NSW Institute of Sport’s new premises at Olympic Park. The feature wall designed by Leffler Simes, is repeated in illuminated signage, whereby creating coloured areas with the lightbox takes Lustre into a whole new dimension.

And with Axolotl’s new Protektzone sealer coat specifically developed for Lustre glass, you can be confident that your glass will continue to light up your project way after other materials may have faded into the background.

Rusty Meccano

 

Dimension and depth are demonstrated here in Axolotl’s Meccano wall in rust. The panels, which are supplied by Axolotl, can be utilized for internal or external design projects as is, or be custom manufactured to any size.

Any of Axolotl’s metal and effects can be applied to create something truly unique and installation is quick and simple.
