Robotic painting on complex shapes

Founded in 2023 by Jean-Marie Ollivier, 7e Axe explores the links between art and robotics.

The company designs and manufactures industrial and artistic machines whose movements are inspired by human gestures.

Founded by Laurent Lagarrigue, AT3L, a data consulting company, promotes data related to heritage. It transforms information into a preservation tool, facilitating the transmission and management of exceptional craftsmanship.
Both engineers, one shapes matter, the other information.

Together, they embody a contemporary vision of the arts and crafts, at the crossroads of high technology and the transmission of know-how.

For Maison Hennessy (LVMH group), 7È Axe and AT3L created a painting robot that can replicate digitally generated artworks by the artist Florian Zumbrunn on Hennessy X.O. Cognac decanters. Each movement is derived from the digital model of the object, transforming every carafe into a distinctive piece and a genuine work of art.
