FEBRUARY 2024
A collection around joy and pleasure, where the colors and the subjectivity of shapes bring gourmet and joyful everyday objects to the forefront for uninhibited interiors.
Tableware in smoked glass and coloured ceramics, highly desirable decorative pieces, the collection is adorned with floor lamps with radical lines, table lamps in watered down colours, a chrome stool and carpets with graphic shapes. It is in the sumptuous décor of the Château Promicea "a Marseille folly", erected on the corniche in Marseille and facing the Mediterranean, that the offbeat and playful pieces designed by Axel Chay for Monoprix came to life in February 2024.
In October 2024, following the success of the collection, Monoprix is reissuing the iconic pieces in new colors and finishes.

SEPTEMBER 2024
To celebrate its 18th anniversary, Leboncoin is calling on Axel Chay in a creative and committed collaboration. The objective? To design a "starter pack" ideal for a first apartment, combining aesthetics and a controlled budget.
Axel and Mélissa Chay have taken up this challenge by drawing on their vibrant and scripted artistic universe. Their intuitive approach has given rise to a selection of singular objects staged through dreamlike scenes, where each piece tells a story and brings a sculptural and playful touch to the living space.
