Today, forty years later, Axis makes its return. But this is not a simple reissue: the project has been updated, enhanced, and made even more functional, contemporary, and sustainable. Lapo Ciatti has preserved the original design philosophy while introducing improvements in ergonomics, exibility, and potential applications.
At the core of the project remains the bridge-style structure, now reimagined to offer greater versatility. Available in three lengths (74, 135 and 196 cm), it allows for custom configurations by simply placing the modules side by side. The updated height of 95 cm improves ergonomics and makes it easier to integrate under-counter appliances. Finally, removing the spacer between the frame and the worktop results in a cleaner, more seamless design, while also reducing transition gaps where dirt could accumulate, especially in outdoor settings.
Thanks to the many customisation options made possible by the addition of accessories (support surfaces, hanging grids, under-counter shelves, sinks, and taps) and appliances (gas or induction cooktops, BBQ and teppanyaki plates, freestanding or built-in), Axis adapts to every setting. In offices and co-working spaces, where a traditional kitchen might be bulky and impractical. In contemporary homes, where kitchen and living areas merge into a single space and everything happens in the same environment. In restaurants, culinary workshops and high-end hospitality venues, where efficiency, aesthetics and modularity are essential.
