The story
Two U-shaped stems rise from a shared circular metal base, each at a different height, each wrapped in chamois faux fur from foot to crown. The Courbes Alléchantes floor lamp gives both stems a spherical white bulb at the top, and the slight height difference between them creates a visual rhythm: two arcs in quiet conversation.
The faux-fur covering transforms what would otherwise read as industrial lighting into something warmer and more ambiguous. At its base, the thin metallic disc is the only exposed metal in the piece, a deliberate contrast to the warm textile rising above it. The dual-stem structure requires the same fabrication precision as any structural piece in the collection.
Axel Chay's Marseille studio produces the lamp by hand. It works well as a standalone object in a reading corner, or as a pair flanking a sofa. Its sculptural character holds in either configuration, whether lit or not. 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.
