Cosentino and Tom Dixon unveil AXIS at Fuorisalone 2026

Structured as a progressive spatial journey, AXIS explores the intersection of material innovation, structural expression and sensory experience. Visitors move through a series of environments that transition from sculptural table landscapes to architectural applications and immersive rooms where light, sound and reflection shift the perception of surface and space.

Inside the AXIS Installation

Throughout this week, a programme called AXISTALKS, curated by Album, is taking place at the venue. The creative platform founded by the editors of Apartamento together with architect Paul Cournet brings together eight internationally renowned designers, among others Michael Anastassiades, Sabine Marcelis, Jaime Font and Enrica Cavarzan in conversations moderated by Cournet. The talks are aimed to provide a thoughtful platform for dialogue around design, materiality and contemporary practice.

What is AXIS?

AXIS is a table collection designed in collaboration with Cosentino and Tom Dixon. This collection has been unveiled for the first time in Milan. These pieces combine bold cross–leg geometries, precise engineering and the integration of advanced ĒCLOS® surfaces.

The structural development has been carried out in collaboration with ACTIU, which has translated Tom Dixon’s sculptural vision into an aluminium base of outstanding technical precision. Its design supports multiple configurations and guarantees stability, visual continuity and an impeccable industrial finish that reinforces the architectural character of the series.

New launch: ĒCLOS, the new in-layered mineral surface

The installation also introduces ĒCLOS, Cosentino’s new in-layered mineral surface developed with INLAYR technology—a layered design technology that, through advanced robotic engineering and integrated decoration techniques, creates a 3-D body integrated design. Unlike superficial designs, ĒCLOS achieves a level of depth, realism and tactile naturality that redefines the expressive possibilities of mineral surfaces. Its pioneering composition contains zero crystalline silica and incorporates more than 50% recycled materials, reaching almost 90% in some colours, while offering outstanding thermal performance with resistance up to 220 ºC. The result is a high-performance indoor surface that combines material innovation, sustainability and a distinctly architectural aesthetic.

Dekton series – Artik Nodes

Complementing this, the installation features Dekton Artik Nodes, part of Cosentino’s ultracompact Dekton surface series —an advanced material created through a high-tech sintering process that replicates the transformation of natural stone. Inspired by the shifting geometry of Arctic ice, Artik Nodes reinterprets its stonelike base into a distinctive structural language of irregular patterns that converge in subtle nodes. The result is a singular sense of visual depth: tones and textures that seem to emerge from within, creating a layered, 3-D effect where. Presented in Milano as a premiere of its first colours, Artik Nodes offers an initial glimpse into the expressive potential of the series.
