Modulation Floor lamp grey silver metal / H 185 cm - Aluminium

With its linear design, the Modulation floor lamp dresses your room with its graphic presence. The simple form, both enigmatic and playful, irresistibly attracts attention and stimulates the imagination. These two folded, interlocking steel tubes evoke industrial pipes, given a twist by their polished mirror finish. The two opaline glass globes punctuate the silhouette, providing a soft, warm light. 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. French designer Axel Chay has a knack for developing a daring language of shapes and colours, borrowing here and there, especially from the 80s, like a Julio le Parc curve or the nostalgic silhouette of an Italian terrace on a summer’s evening, which explode into view. A well-intended slap for conventional design and predictable furniture. With its rudimentary curved shape, lost between a feeling of regression and technical distinction, the tube calls out with its power of interpretation. Modulation rounds off the angles with dexterity, revealing graceful curves, reassuring shapes. This high-quality sculptural piece is handcrafted in Marseille. Designer Axel Chay has succeeded in transforming a basic element (steel tube) into a sculptural, original and contemporary piece, while preserving the integrity of the original element. The Modulation floor lamp is pure design pleasure, where the delirium of designing becomes real. 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. The parts 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.
