Let things come to you
In Harry Potter, there's a spell called Accio: you say it, and the object you want comes directly to you. This is where the name AxiO came from.
👉 Imagine: you stand in front of a closet, stretch out your arm, and pretend to scroll through your Instagram feed. And then, the drawers follow your gesture, as if by magic.
Your shoes, your books, your clothes, your cans of food... in short, everything that is sleeping in a piece of furniture that is too high or inaccessible comes down quietly, always within reach.
And that's not all: in its AxiO DRS version, the technology is making its way into retail and mass distribution. Imagine a supermarket where the products on the shelves come to you, rather than the other way around: no more need for ladders to reach packs of water at the top, or to bend down to reach boxes at the bottom. The result: greater safety for staff, greater comfort for customers, and a truly inclusive shopping experience.
AxiO combines design, sustainability, and autonomy. It changes the daily lives of those who can't lift themselves up—and simplifies life for everyone.
An association, not a start-up
Because some inventions don't fit into boxes.
-
Too advanced for their time.
-
Too material for the software world.
-
Too new to promise a quick return.
Rather than forcing them into a mold, our inventor made a radical choice: giving the technology to an association.
This is how Shelvium was born. Here, innovation advances for impact, not profit. Here, we build with those who truly need it.
AxiO Sospeso: Redistributive design
Inspired by the Neapolitan "caffè sospeso", the AxiO Sospeso program funds free AxiOs for pre-qualified individuals.
When our partner AxiO Dynamics sells a premium "AxiO Signature" model, a portion directly funds the sending of an AxiO to a person selected by our partner associations.
Buy premium 👉 offer access: each sale funds a free AxiO.
A participatory and open source approach
We always work in co-creation.
This means: workshops with our partner associations, contributions from tech-side volunteers who work hand in hand with our design and engineering office, and continuous feedback from our pilot users.
Each step serves to adjust, improve, refine.
The result: a truly useful product, pleasant to use… and validated by those who matter most.
Join the founding core of Shelvium
We are launching the project with Creaholic (Biel), who are designing the first AxiO prototype. We are looking for a small team of committed volunteers (3–4 hours/week).
Meetings every Friday evening + remote work.
