The story
Two slender forms descend from a silver metallic rim, wrapped in chamois faux fur, and intertwine below in a slow loop before each terminates in a spherical white bulb. The Courbes Alléchantes ceiling lamp turns the pendant fixture into something less expected: the entwinement of the two fur-wrapped pendants gives the piece a sculptural presence that extends well beyond its function as a light source.
Suspended from a metallic rim, the forms move slightly with air, animating the space in a way a static object cannot. The chamois textile wrapping gives the piece warmth at a distance that its pendant form would otherwise resist. When unlit, it reads as a decorative installation. When on, it diffuses a soft, directed glow. Either way, the intertwining loop draws attention before the bulbs do.
Axel Chay's Marseille studio fabricates the ceiling lamp by hand, using the aluminium-and-wrapping technique consistent across the Courbes Alléchantes collection. Available on Monde Singulier.
About Axel Chay
Axel Chay is a self-taught designer based in Marseille, working across sculptural furniture, lighting, and art objects. He co-founded Nova Obiecta in 2013 before launching his own studio in 2020, now run as a family enterprise: Axel designs, his wife Melissa handles communication and brand identity, and his brother Aimeric produces the pieces in their Marseille atelier.
His work draws from the Mediterranean coastline where he grew up, from the kinetic artists he admires (Donald Judd, Tom Wesselmann, Julio Le Parc, Geneviève Claisse), and from the Memphis movement's rejection of neutral design. He resists any fixed identity: "I try to draw things that I like and that are not trivial." The result is sculptural furniture and lighting that is colorful, graphic, and built to hold its presence in a room.
