About Axolotl

Axolotl provides design solutions for architects, designers, and builders through a range of authentic metal, concrete, terrazzo, and terracotta surfaces. The company also supplies solid surface materials, timber veneers, stone, paint, sheet metal, and architectural glass.

Founded in 1995 by brothers Kris and Kim Torma, Axolotl is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The company's inception followed extensive research and development into metal manipulation for surface application, which resulted in a world-first technology: the ability to apply genuine metal to the surface of any substrate. This process gives the surface the appearance of solid metal without its inherent weight and limitations. Over the past 27 years, Axolotl has expanded its product line to include ten core surface applications with numerous possible combinations.

The firm's business model centers on collaborating with design professionals to create customized and unique surfaces that extend the design and construction possibilities of any project. Their team works closely with clients from the initial concept through to the final completion. Axolotl operates on a global scale, with factories in Thailand and Baja California, and design and sales teams in the UK, Europe, Asia, the GCC, and North America. The company's commitment to the environment is evident in its processes; their metal veneers use significantly less metal and power than traditional casting, and their concrete coatings require only 2% of the raw materials needed for solid concrete.
