25.01.2022 Another sexy Axolotl door, coated in liquid Brass metal and aged with Black Florentine patina. Our talented team in #AxolotlHongKong have nailed the linear gradient cut-back of the Black Florentine ageing, showing off the Brass metal. Our liquid #AppliedMetal Brass with our various options of ageing can seriously transform a natural Brass surface!... Look out for our next post explaining our patinas on Brass metal.

18.01.2022 It's all in the details | Our artisans work across a broad range of projects, scaling from large facades to fine objects, what is consistent throughout every project is our attention to detail. Like the detail of this Shagreen door handle in Gold Bronze Black Florentine for @alexandrakidd on the Hunters Hill House II. Photographed by @axolotlgroup & @_pabloveiga ...

18.01.2022 This biodegradable glitter explosion is a SNEAK PEEK into a very beautiful artwork we are developing with @marisapurcell11 Very excited to share more with you about the prototyping processes and final artwork, not long to go! Like this sparkly artwork, we’re wishing you a dazzling, and eco-friendly, Mardi Gras celebration tonight! ... #AxolotlGroup #AxolotlArtProjects #TheFutureOfSurface #glitter #sparkle #artistcollab #customart #mardigras2021

17.01.2022 A few words from our design director, Emmaline Cox _ The artists, Golnar and Ruben, wanted to create moods and unexpected effects. They liked the idea of Polarised glasses, the coloured reflective films mirror the lens on one face and colour the wearers perspective.... So, we started to explore the notions of playing with materials that reflect and refract light. Throughout the design development we tested materials that would transform the object and the light source when illuminated, such as mirror, kiln slumped glass textures and sandblasted effects. Material finishes such as gloss and matte, led us to consider surface effects like frosting and carving into glass to create deep shadow and pattern. During our R&D process, I had a light bulb moment and realised Mica dust would be an interesting material to create the artists desired effect. Mica is a super fine glitter dust that reflects light whilst also allowing light to pass through the surface. The colours of the Mica are delicate and sometimes unexpected by reflecting different colours. For instance a blue mica tone reflected blue and cast a golden tone. We treated the glass sculptures with mirror and mica in custom patterns and gradients. When the sculptures are placed under a moving light source the interaction of colour, light, movement and texture magnificently combine into an art installation we are truely proud to be a part of.

16.01.2022 Axolotl Applied Meta - Silvers + Patina Our effects explained swipe left to learn more. Axolotl applied metal surfaces are made from real liquid semi-precious metals such as brass, bronze, copper and nickel. ... Every surface starts with the raw metal. Our artisans then work with the materials to polish, texture and patinate the the surface to create a wide range of effects. By using real metals we have the unique ability to apply natural ageing processes such as rusts, pearl, florentine or verdigris patinas, creating an accelerated aesthetic beauty that would naturally occur if a metal was left for several years. Our hand-crafted processes promise a bespoke finish with an intended organic inconsistency on every project. Benefits of our liquid Applied Metals: Can be applied onto complex shapes including curved, faceted and routed profiles Can be applied onto most substrates, including MDF, steel, acrylic and fibreglass Suitable for many surfaces including doors, interior walls, ceilings, outdoor areas, signage, furniture and more Lightweight and only 0.5mm thick Cost effective option as compared to cast metal Custom patterns, designs and textures available for all projects Excellent durability Easy maintenance DM us with any questions and project enquiries.

09.01.2022 Cool and complimentary cladding. Swipe for details of our Mars carved design into the entry door; coated in Aluminium with Lunar texture and Antique ageing, this entrance really leaves an impression! #AxolotlGroup #AxolotlAppliedMetal #TheFutureOfSurface #MakeAnEntrance

07.01.2022 Exploring the rhythms of nature through light and refraction in the glass art sculpture in collaboration with @riveroshan for Time to Reflect as part of the Hybrid exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum Sydney. The artists’ concept of this installation was driven by the current global crises, isolation and the experience of being indoors with ourselves. A series of 3 glass domes finished in our #AxolotlMica and mirror.

06.01.2022 Our Applied Concrete in Slate brings a rustic and industrial beauty to any project. The factory applied liquid treatment is available in Pseudo Smooth (pictured), or with a textured Lunar surface. Our surfaces can be applied onto almost any substrate as well as designs with complex shapes and sizes for both interior or exterior environments. Offering unlimited design possibilities, customised patterns and textures can also be created by carving or embossing the substrate, or... with inlays in with metal or coloured resins. Application opportunities are endless ranging from walls and joinery, through to signage and sculpture.

05.01.2022 [3/3] The concept and design direction as described by @graypuksand for their recent project, "The renewal of 55 Clarence Street draws inspiration from the unique scape of Sydney’s Clarence Street, evoking a sense of sophistication with an edge. The space is designed to activate the area, create artful ambience and a welcoming feeling." Our Bronze liquid metal with Brown Florentine ageing is featured across the walls of the lobby. The soft hand-polished Bronze injects a warmt...h and visual softness working as the perfect anchoring backdrop to the dynamic space.

03.01.2022 [1/3] How do you create a warm and inviting ambience within a large lobby area where people want to meet? Well, it takes a number of considerations and the designers at @graypuksand know how to do it! For the lobby of their recent project at 55 Clarence Street, the desired design outcome was to create a space that acts as a destination within the building rather than a thoroughfare. Each setting within the lobby creates opportunities to spark serendipitous encounters, provo...king opportunities to meet and work through carefully curated pieces with integrated power and technology - as written by @graypuksand Our Bronze liquid metal with Brown Florentine ageing is featured across the walls of the lobby.

02.01.2022 We are always curious to explore new processes and to push the boundaries of what we know as surfaces, textures and art in architecture & design. Using our 3D printer, any complex pattern, artwork or motif can be embossed with precision onto a range of substrates including mdf, compact laminate, acrylic, glass and metal. For an outstanding result, these surfaces can then be treated with Axolotl Applied Metal, Applied Terracotta and Applied Concrete surfaces that are bespoke,... durable, and easy to maintain. We have an existing portfolio of designs and patterns you can choose from for 3D printing, or we can work with you to customise your design. Swipe across to see some examples of 3D printed surfaces treated with aged metals to create more depth and contrast. #AxolotlGroup #3Dprinting #TheFutureOfSurface #AppliedMetal #AppliedConcrete #AppliedTerracotta
