Axi is the first series designed by French designer Patrick Jouin for Italamp: a Murano glass collection where technology and tradition, experimentation and centuries-old know-how in glass manipulation coexist. Axi is a suspension with a "retro-futurist" aesthetic, composed of a tubular structure made of white borosilicate glass that contains an LED light source, interspersed with metal elements from which extend arms onto which colored art glass elements are attached, gravitating around the central element. These elements have an arched, textured surface that filters light with plays of transparency and refraction. Envisioned by the designer as "a sculpture in space and a functional object," Axi ideally reproduces the rotational motion of a satellite around a planet, which in turn moves around its axis. Offered in a horizontal or vertical version, Axi is available with the elements in three color combinations.

Why Special Order? LightForm sources most of its products direct from international suppliers to bring you the best prices. Our objective is to minimize the distance between the manufacturer and you, the end user. As a result many of our products are Special Order, and not in stock in our stores, meaning they ship directly to you from the factories/workshops/ateliers from around the world and most are made-to-order.
