Axiom Space | Philippe Starck

Guided by the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere, Axiom Space is building and operating the world’s first commercial space station to improve life on Earth and foster possibilities beyond it.

NASA selected Axiom in January 2020 to attach its privately developed modules to the International Space Station (ISS).

Philippe Starck worked with Axiom Space a few years ago to explore life in zero-gravity environment and develop initial concepts for a modern space station interior. His thoughtful and visionary designs are used today by the Axiom Space team, inspiring the current Axiom Station's crew habitation modules.

Starck’s vision was to create a nest, a comfortable and friendly egg, which would feature materials and colors stemming from a fetal universe. The walls are sprinkled with hundreds of nano-Leds with changing colors as a continuation to the view of the universe through the large windows. Just as all the shades of lights and colors of day and night, the egg will also live to the mood and biorhythm of its osmotic inhabitant.
