Romain Gratiot (known as the Alchemist) is the explorer who revealed the existence of six invisible cities: DODGIA , NOCTEA , OBEDIA , INOVIA and VERIDISIA, united in the world of IRRATIONAL FLAMES .
Before embarking on his initiatory journey, which would make him discover this fantastic universe, he was an architect. At 27, faced with several professional disappointments, he made the bold decision to go on an adventure, to realign his desires and values .
The design of his first lamp, SILO , marked his preparation for the big departure. A gesture, made in the hope of brightening up his living space and, unconsciously, of illuminating his future, which would give birth to his passion for design .
But it is during a seemingly ordinary trip to Venice that the Alchemist accidentally crosses a space-time portal; a gateway to a Invisible Continent which would unify his self-taught work into a coherent artistic work.
In this new world, thanks to his skills as an architect , his know-how in 3D printing , and his taste for stories , He imagined objects capable of transporting whoever took possession of them to their own inner continent.
As you read these lines, the Alchemist is exploring new lands . You can find his creations right here, on the Figaro website, and in more and more highly inspiring stores , such as FLEUX and l' Appartement Français .
