Axolotl also offers a range of bespoke glass and timber products which are unlimited in design potential. All four materials can be used individually or combined in a multitude of ways to offer infinite possibilities in design.

Sustainability

Timber | At Axolotl we are committed to preserving the environment for future generations. As we are dealing with natural sources on a daily basis, we always ensure that all the timber we work with is harvested in a sustainable, ethical and renewable manor. Plantation hardwoods and FSC timbers are environmentally friendly and provide us a beautiful renewable resource.

Metal | Our metals are applied as a veneer and use significantly less metal and less power than the traditional cast or sheet metal process. It is far cleaner with much reduced pollution created through production. Only 100% recycled metals are used.

Concrete | The quantity of raw materials required for 1 square metre of our concrete coating is just 1.5% of raw materials required for the same surface area of solid concrete. This translates to a fraction of the carbon emissions of the production of solid concrete.

Glass | Our glass products completes our commitment to the environment by being 100% recyclable.
