Antoine Gelgon est un designer attiré par les systèmes d’écritures, la typographie ainsi que par l’histoire et la philosophie des techniques. Sa pratique tente de rechercher et de valoriser dans les dialogues entre designer et son environnement, la singularité technique et les nouvelles formes d’expressivités qui en découle. Loin de vouloir réaliser des prouesses techniques, mais bien plus des transgressions dans les usages et des développements de méthodes combinatoires entre différents objets, il pense la technique comme matière réflexive, indispensable aux transmissions des savoirs et constitutions de communs. Il rejoint le collectif OSP en 2017 et cofonde la même année le groupe de designers Luuse.
