AXIX HEX: THE EVOLUTION OF 1810’ S ORIGINAL SEAMLESS SINK
There are sinks designed to complement a kitchen, and there are sinks that are designed to define it.
With the launch of AXIX HEX, The 1810 Company brings together two of its most recognisable innovations, reimagining an original design concept through the introduction of its award-winning textured HEX sink surface.
First unveiled in 2018, the revolutionary AXIX range introduced a new approach to sink integration. Combining a stainless steel base with walls clad in matching worktop material, the concept created a beautifully seamless appearance, allowing the sink to become an extension of the surrounding surface.
Today, that original concept enters a new chapter. By combining the architectural simplicity of AXIX with the distinctive HEX sink base, 1810 has created a striking new interpretation that brings texture, depth and individuality to contemporary kitchen design.
Developed with designers and fabricators in mind, AXIX offers exceptional scope for personalisation. Compatible solid surface, quartz and stone worktop materials can be incorporated into the sink walls, creating a cohesive, integrated finish that complements the wider kitchen aesthetic.
The addition of the HEX surface introduces both visual character and practical innovation. Its distinctive textured stainless steel base delivers enhanced scratch resistance while encouraging faster drainage, helping to preserve the sink ' s premium appearance throughout everyday use.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, AXIX HEX is manufactured using 1810 ' s premium 1.2mm-thick stainless steel, complete with Insusound ® coating,
and is approved for use with Quooker ® 100 ° C boiling water taps.
Bernhard van Ommen, Managing Director at The 1810 Company, highlights AXIX HEX as a reflection of the company ' s continued commitment to innovation and original design.
He said:“ Innovation has always been central to what we do at 1810. We are constantly looking at how we can evolve our products, our materials and our manufacturing capabilities to bring something genuinely unique to the market.
“ AXIX began as an original 1810 concept, and bringing it together with another of our distinctive innovations in HEX is a perfect example of that approach.
“ It combines two established ideas to create something entirely new – a highly individual, premium sink solution that reflects our ambition to remain at the forefront of kitchen innovation.”
AXIX HEX is offered in two configurations: SOS, accommodating worktop materials up to 16mm thick, and QG, suitable for materials up to 26mm thick.
Both variations are available now in Stainless Steel and Gunmetal finishes, allowing designers to coordinate the sink with surrounding materials, finishes and kitchen hardware.
