AXYL collection

At the London Design Festival, Benjamin Hubert of experience design agency LAYER will launch the AXYL collection, available in a variety of low-impact materials.

Benjamin Hubert of experience design agency LAYER will launch the AXYL collection for UK furniture brand Allermuir at the London Design Festival in September at the Somerset House. The AXYL collection is a combination of recognisable elements – such as the A-frame typology and the Mid-Century wrap-around shell – that come together to create a distinctive new form.

  The AXYL collection is part of LAYER’s ongoing commitment to working with companies to lower their impact on the environment. The recycled aluminium in the Y-frame of the chairs uses just 5% of the energy required to create new aluminium and also offers significant cost savings; the chair shells and stool tops are available in a variety of low-impact materials, including recycled wood fibre, reclaimed timber and recycled nylon, offering an efficient way of re-using waste product from the furniture industry.
