Axis Mundi is a leading contemporary architecture and interior design firm, specializing in the design of highly personalized residential, retail and cultural projects. The studio’s ethos draws from the infinitely rich vocabulary of design and visual culture. We balance theory and practice, incorporating concepts and technologies that transform that language into new forms of expression relevant to today. John Beckmann and his retinue of shape-shifting insurgents know that being provocateurs and challenging assumptions is what catalyzes new ways of thinking. And new ways of thinking are what lead to the freeform experimentation and nascent perspectives that result in design innovation. The New York based design studio has a reputation for interdisciplinary work across the fields of architecture, interior design and anomalous site-specific installations.
