OUR UNIVERSE
LAMPS AS SCULPTURES
We have three places, three hearts, three sources and places of life where our imagination is built and where we draw our inspiration.
The first heart is Paris, with its unheard-of splendor, its flamboyant classicism, its elegance, its codes.
The second is Poland, bucolic and full of charm, Dorota Dabrowska’s childhood home.
The third is Provence, mineral and azure blue, violent and poetic, Gaëtan Malphettes’ childhood home.
Cosmopolitan
The Villa Alys style is not to be confined to one style, but to embrace them all.
Not to belong to one fashion, one era. Not to be stuck in one decorative genre.
The hybrid personality of Villa Alys creations allows them to blend into settings as varied as those of a villa, chalet, farmhouse or loft with a resolutely contemporary design.
Between art and decoration
Villa Alys is inspired by and reinterprets Baroque, classical and naturalist motifs, while retaining the fundamental principles and laws of the history of the decorative arts and the classics of decoration.Influences range from the Etruscan period, to the different eras of art and decorative styles, to design, graphics, photography and botany.the fact of having a transversal reading of styles, of keeping the essence of styles, without adopting any of them, allows Villa Alys creations to take possession of an interior without distorting it.
Chameleon objects
Porous entities, brought to life by the alchemy of their noble materials, Villa Alys fixtures and furniture are a fusion of bohemian, chic, trendy, traditional, rustic and industrial styles. Nurtured by the classics of interior design, Villa Alys’ production is inspired by and reinterprets the baroque, natural and organic motifs that populate the history of the decorative arts. Their playful creations defy style, without adopting any of it, to take possession of an interior without distorting it.
Olivier, Madame, Rose Saint Valentin, Pommier, Sweet Girafon...
Our lamps are Parisian, yet bucolic and vagabond,
inspired by plants, animals and faraway lands.
They are equally at home in a loft, a palace or a fisherman’s hut…
To create our objects, we used an ancestral sculpting technique known as lost-wax.
Impressions were made by art founders from original wax sculptures, preserving the artisanal character of each piece.

THAT GO WONDERFULLY WELL TOGETHER
VILLA ALYS OFFERS LAMPS AS SCULPTURES
Our lamps are Parisian, but bucolic and wandering, inspired by plants, animals and faraway lands. Organic, contemporary creations.
REINVENTING THE CODES OF LUXURY
With a timeless, fluid style inspired by the very history of the Decorative Arts, our lamps are moving, embodied, charismatic, convivial and remain beyond fashion and trends.
Our creations blend into refined, cosmopolitan interiors, whether in a palace, a villa, a chalet, a Provencal farmhouse or even a more avant-garde or futuristic architectural project.
The spontaneity of our creations adds a touch of freshness. Each of them offers an alternative, adding a poetic dimension to contemporary style while renewing the classic. Through their hybrid nature and the alchemy of their noble materials, our lamps are a fusion of bohemian, chic, trendy, traditional, rustic and industrial styles…
Each one symbolizes carefully chosen archetypes:
Nature, trees, animals, the feminine…
THE SHAPES
From the preparatory drawing, through the iron structure, the wax modeling and the casting, we are very attached to the balance of proportions.
It is the coherence of these processes that gives our lamps their character. This spirit, this mystery, which seems to inhabit them, gives them this intensity, this emotional and unusual power.
