AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Omorphos:
A true object of contemplation, Omorphos is a hybrid creation between sculpture and lighting. Its composite structure, clad in a mineral finish of lime plaster and marble powder, exudes a presence that is at once raw and serene.
The heart of the work reveals a precious contrast: an interior delicately gilded with brass leaf, protected by an anti-oxidation varnish, which warms the light.
At its center, a turned and polished bronze lens seems to float, a translucent blue created from a fine powder of lapis-lazuli bound to epoxy resin.
The LED source, hidden behind this bronze lens, creates a captivating luminous eclipse: the blue becomes translucent, letting through an azure light that enhances the pigments of semi-precious stone and the golden reflections.
● Dimensions: H 41 cm | L 41 cm
● Noble materials: translucent lapis-lazuli resin, polished bronze, brass leaf, lime plaster and marble powder.
● Exclusivity: Unique piece, delivered with its certificate of authenticity.
Made in France at the Atelier Axel Simon
Biography:
Alexis Legeay: The Alchemy of Light and Movement
Artisan, inventor and sculptor, Alexis Legeay redefines the luminous object through a constant quest for technical elegance and visual poetry.
An Excellence Journey
In 2016, he founded the Atelier Axel Simon, a creative space where raw material is transformed into exceptional pieces. His talent was quickly recognized by his peers: in 2018, he was honored with the First Departmental and Regional Prize of Arts Trades, a distinction that applauds the rigor of his execution and the originality of his vision.
Mastery of Matter
At the heart of his French workshop, Alexis Legeay engages with noble and varied materials:
Metals: steel, brass and bronze.
Mineral and Organic: glass and wood.
High-Quality Finishes: mastery of gold leaf gilding for a precious and timeless result.
Between Invention and Kinetic Art
Alexis does not simply manufacture; he innovates. Holder of several patents, he integrates an engineering dimension into his creations. His interest in kinetic art — the art of movement — gives his luminaires a life of their own, playing with shadows and structures. This monumental approach even led him to undertake a large-scale work within the framework of the 1% for the Arts program.
"Each piece is a signature, a bridge between traditional French craftsmanship and technological innovation."
