Description
French designer Axel Chay offers several variations on the theme of the tube, an essential form to which he always brings a touch of mischief. Depending on the models in the collection, the tube appears differently. With its rudimentary form, lost between a feeling of regression and technical distinction, the tube calls out with its power of interpretation. The Ida lamp consists of a long aluminium tube (H 55 cm) cut obliquely in its upper part. This caesura causes an imbalance that gives the slender silhouette a twist. Sculptural and unique, Ida expresses designer Axel Chay’s love for the movement and dynamics of objects. Designer Axel Chay has succeeded in transforming a basic element (steel tube) into a sculptural, original, contemporary piece, while preserving the integrity of the original element. The light emitted by the upper part is reflected on the incised surface, emphasising the play of caesura and creating a beautiful decorative effect of reflected light. The simple form, both enigmatic and playful, irresistibly attracts attention and stimulates the imagination. A style both full of fantasy yet refined. All things superfluous have been eliminated to keep only what is essential. The Modulation floor lamp won’t go unnoticed - it will become a centrepiece in your decor. Axel Chay is the designer and co-creator of Nova Obiecta, a Marseille studio for creating contemporary objects, founded in 2013. Ultra-creative and with a precise taste, Axel Chay designs contemporary pieces, both utilitarian and sculptural, paying homage to kinetic art and the Memphis movement. Seeking abstraction through strict, calculated geometric shapes, he sets out to breathe new life into sculptural furniture and plays around with raw materials such as cork, steel and aluminium. Pieces from the Axel Chay collection are manufactured or industrialised in France. In this way, the hands or machines behind these household objects come from the aeronautics and nuclear sector, as well as from historical French know-how.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little lamp for its sleek, contemporary edge and versatile aesthetic. Its metal finish in grey and silver makes it an ideal choice for modern or minimalist interiors, working equally well on bedside tables, desks, or console units. The sculptural, slightly quirky shape adds visual interest without overwhelming the space. For styling tips, try placing it alongside textured ceramics or matte surfaces to create a balanced contrast. It pairs beautifully with both neutral palettes and more vibrant colour schemes, adding a touch of sophistication and function without fuss. Its compact size makes it a practical choice for smaller spaces, while its stylish design ensures it won't get lost among larger statement pieces.
