The vision for the Mojo Luxe range was to design an elegant, sculptural range of bath ware that would stand the test of time, and yet be functional in day-to-day use.

The range is created using the highest quality materials that afford the pieces to be customised in over one hundred bespoke colours, patterns, shapes and sizes.

  • The Mojo Luxe range is designed with premium quality and extremely flexible mediums, Marblo and Axolotl metals. Marblo and Axolotl are both leaders in architectural surface technology and by combining their extensive capabilities, the Mojo Luxe range is unlike any bath ware available. The body is formed from Marblo, a premium material with a luxurious smooth and silky feel. The external faces are then embellished in Axolotl's hand applied liquid metal range. Axolotl Metal is a specialist coating technology which bonds liquefied semi-precious metals such as Copper, Brass and Bronze to the surface. With over 100 combinations of colour, texture and patina, the Mojo Luxe range can be transformed to suit any designer's palette.

  • Jo Irwin, “It's about form and function, striving to achieve that balance between cutting edge and timelessness.” The Mojo Luxe range fuses sculptural form with practicality, shaped with a unique outer ledge designed for everyday use, a space to rest your head whilst bathing, or to simply place your soap. The formed bath ware is created in malleable Marblo materials that also provide a soft matte appearance and warm touch. It would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible to recreate the shape & feel in classic bath materials such as steel and stone. The forms are further enhanced with bespoke Axolotl metals. Custom metal effects and patterns applied to the outer form, which add to the command and style of the piece.

  • The Marblo motto has always been 'Freedom of imagination' - and it was by following both this motto and the encouragement of Marblo that Jo Irwin was able to realize the Mojo designs in singular moulds, and without any jointing. Other functional considerations into the selection of the Marblo body included: - A Soft and silky material to the touch which is also warm unlike ceramic products - Manufactured using natural polymers - Available in your choice of designer matte or a semi-gloss finish - Longevity: Marblo bath ware products are supplied with a 10 year limited warranty - Renewable: any minor scratches or surface damage can be easily refinished to a brand new surface

  • Axolotl metals are hand applied and polished. The liquid metal technology allows semi precious metals to be bonded onto complex 3D profiles seamlessly, without the difficulty of forging and waterproofing sheet metals, or the cost & weight restrictions of cast metal. Axolotl metals are not only striking, but make the Mojo Luxe range practical and comfortable. Users of the bath are afforded the beauty of the metal exterior, and the comfort and function of the Marblo interior. The polished metal surfaces elevate the design and accentuate the form. Available in a wide selection of colours and textures, the choice of finish will change the look of the bath ware from modern polished Aluminium, through to a bold Copper Cayman.

    With over 60 years combined industry standing, Axolotl and Marblo have both received local and international acclaim & have become trusted names within the design industry. Both companies pride themselves on their ability to keep abreast of changing trends and requirements from the design community, and continually push forward with new improvements and ranges to fulfill these demands. Better still, the key products - Marblo Opal materials and Axolotl Metals are both over 20 years of age and prove that a well-designed product is timeless. By designing the Mojo Luxe range with such quality materials, specifiers and clients can rest assured that they are receiving a premium, functional and beautiful product.

    The Mojo Luxe range is a classic design range, created to stand the test of time. Designed and manufactured in Australia from quality materials, the owners will enjoy extended life-of-use. The Marblo interior can be easily refinished back to its original condition, reducing the need to replace or dispose of it. And as the cleaning of Marblo surfaces involves a light abrasive pad, no harsh chemicals are required to clean the interior or exterior of this range. The Axolotl metals adorning the exterior of the range are also an environmentally conscious material, the metals are applied as a veneer and use significantly less metal and less power than the traditional cast or sheet metal process, and use 100% recycled metals.

    It is well known that quality designs and fixtures add to the value of a property. By selecting a quality designed and manufactured bathtub or basin, you are adding a quality permanent fixture to the premises, and adding to the perceived value of the property. The Mojo Luxe range should do just this, a classic design range, created to stand the test of time. Designed and manufactured in Australia from quality materials, the owners will enjoy extended life-of-use.
