Benjamin Hubert与其所在的LAYER设计公司将于九月的伦敦设计节在Somerset House发布其为家具品牌Allermuir设计的AXYL系列。该系列包含一款可选择有无扶手的座椅，一款高脚凳和一款咖啡桌，运用了强烈的几何设计语言，从A型结构和20世纪中期丹麦式外壳等常见事物中汲取了全新的灵感。AXYL是Benjamin Hubert和LAYER公司首次与英国家具品牌进行的合作，产品的生产成本较高，从概念到实际生产总计花费了两年的时间。

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 Somerset House. Comprising a chair, available with and without arms, a barstool and a café table, AXYL utilises a strong geometric design language that is entirely original yet draws on familiar references, such as the A-frame typology and a Mid-Century Danish wrap-around shell. AXYL is Benjamin Hubert’s and LAYER’s first collaboration with a British furniture brand, and the intensive project, including high tooling investment, was completed in 2 years from sketch to full production.

低环境影响 | Low impact

AXYL是LAYER目前与众多公司进行的致力于减少环境影响的合作之一。座椅的Y型结构所使用的可再生铝材仅耗费了生产新铝所需能源的5%，同时节约了大量成本；座椅的外壳、高脚凳的凳面以及咖啡桌桌面皆有多种低环境影响的材料可供选择，包括再生的木质纤维、回收利用的木材和再生尼龙，为家具工业产品提供了废物利用的有效方法。

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, stool tops and café table 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.

新旧结合 | Something old, something new

AXYL系列以复杂精致的手法对一些常见结构进行了组合，如A型结构和20世纪中期丹麦式外壳等。这些元素共同构成了全新的独特造型。座椅轮廓使用了压铸的铝制Y型结构，椅面选用了线条柔软的注塑外壳，带来充分的包围感，同时还有坐垫可供选择。AXYL座椅可以四个为一组进行堆叠，便于存放。

The AXYL collection is a sophisticated 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 chairs employ a unique recycled die-cast aluminum Y-frame silhouette topped with a softly geometric injection moulded shell, which is designed to embrace the sitter, and an optional cushion. The AXYL chairs stack four-high to enable easy storage.
