Axolotl Splice is derived from the molecular properties and granules of starch.
The properties of starches obtained from different botanical sources can be improved by the regulated application of heat and moisture, thereby resulting in an environmentally friendly and safe physical modification of the starches.
And in the same vein Axolotl have created the Splice range as a tribute to adaptation, reengineering and our recycling mandate to create a product that is otherworldly and bountiful in its beauty.
Splice uses a proprietary Shibusa texturing method that is unique to Axolotl.
The method allows the conveying of custom hand drawn designs into the very core of the applied metal using a chemical activation process.
This page showcases Splice and many of our other completed Shibusa textured pieces.
