Alexis Legeay - Pomme

La Pomme: Object of Curiosity by Alexis Legeay

Object of desire and contemplation, La Pomme revisits a universal symbol through a mineral and precious aesthetics. This ornamental sculpture is shaped in a biosourced material structure, coated with a noble lime-based finish and marble powder for a matte, organic exterior look.

The heart of the piece reveals a striking contrast: the interior is entirely gilded with brass leaf and varnished. This precious cavity acts as a natural reflector that catches and magnifies the surrounding light, creating a deep and warm glow. The object is finished with a single brass tail, worked by deformation and polished to a brilliant shine, bringing a sophisticated finish to the whole.

Of an intimate format, this numbered piece plays with the changing reflections of its gold heart over the course of the day.

Biography of the designer-artist 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.

A Path of Excellence
In 2016, he founded 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 Regional and Departmental Prize of the Arts Trades, a distinction that honors the rigor of his execution and the originality of his vision.

The Mastery of Material
At the heart of his French workshop, Alexis Legeay dialogues with noble and varied materials:

Metals: Steel, brass and bronze.

Mineral and Organic: Glass and wood.

Fine Finishes: Mastery of gold leaf gilding for a precious and timeless look.

Between Invention and Kinetic Art
Alexis does not just manufacture; he innovates. Holder of several patents, he adds an engineering dimension to 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 led him to create a large-scale work as part of the 1% artistic program.

"Each piece is a signature, a bridge between traditional French crafted artisanal skill and technological innovation."
