French designer Axel Chay enjoys experimenting with new shapes and new materials. He demonstrates it once again with this fascinating project: a wall lamp made of expanded foam, a truly unusual material. The shape consisting of a stack of discs of different diameters evokes old mouldings. A luminous glass globe tops off this small architectural construction. Lolo offers a delicious contrast between the form borrowed from the past and the ultra-modern material. 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 seeks to breathe new life into sculptural furniture and plays 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.
I love this wall light for its clean, modern aesthetic and versatile design. Its white expanded foam and glass combo lends a soft, diffused glow that works beautifully in contemporary or minimalist interiors. It’s especially effective in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms where understated elegance is key. For styling tips, consider pairing it with muted colour palettes to highlight its sculptural quality, or use it to add subtle ambient light in spaces with layered textures. Hanging a pair alongside a mirror or artwork can create a balanced, cohesive look, while its neutral tone ensures it won’t compete with other decor. Overall, it’s a practical yet stylish piece that adds a touch of understated sophistication.
