Renovation of a Marseillaise house from the 1930s, into a hybrid space, simultaneously a place of creation, manufacturing, exhibition and housing for Axel Chay pieces.
In this house the characteristic elements of the Roaring Twenties : cement tiles, red marble fireplace, moldings, ironwork set the tone for the layout of the place while respecting its history. Axel Chay furniture offers itself a setting. From unique pieces designed for each space, to the prototype just out of the workshop on the ground floor, the entire Axel Chay universe is being experienced in this house-workshop.

Renovation of a house from the end of the 19th century into an artistic refuge. The idea of creating a large white cube to highlight a collection of design pieces, works and Axel Chay creations.
The original character of the place has been preserved while infusing it with refined modernity.
Constantly in motion, the interior can evolve with new creations and discoveries, abolishing the boundary between domestic space and work space. This instinctive and lively approach to decoration reflects a desire to create a place where art and everyday life merge naturally, offering a setting conducive to experimentation and inspiration.
