ALEX JONCAS


Alex Joncas, originally from Montreal, first studied visual arts, before training in welding and metalworking. Very early on, he developed a passion for the transformation of matter: that precise moment when heat shapes form, between mastery and the unexpected. After a spell at Lambert & Fils as an assembler, welder and fitter, he began to imagine and dream up his own pieces. 

The need to create gradually took hold.

In 2016, Alex co-founded the Darmes lighting studio with Gildas, his life partner. Distributed internationally, their creations remain rooted in Quebec, where they are designed and manufactured, nourished by its landscapes, architecture and collective imagination.

Today, Alex Joncas chooses to devote himself fully to the creation of more personal design objects, through pieces such as vases, lighting fixtures and sculptural objects, marking the start of a new adventure. Assembling, prototyping, experimenting, his project seeks to express the full depth of his emotions and his reading of the world through his Canadian identity.

In particular, he works with local lumber, which bears the imprint of Canada’s forests, as well as metals, giving rise to a sensitive reading of the territory and a collective narrative through matter.

Discover his work through his Instagram account or his collections.
