Creator
Romain Gratiot, also known by the nickname of the Alchemist , is the explorer who revealed the existence of six invisible cities: DODGIA, NOCTEA, OBEDIA, INOVIA and VERIDISIA, united in the universe of IRRATIONAL FLAMES .
Before starting his initiatory journey that would make him discover this fantastic world, he was an architect. At 27, faced with great professional disillusionment, he made the bold decision to go on an adventure, to realign his desires and values .
The design of his first lamp, SILO , marked the beginning of this transformation. Designed to illuminate his living space and, unconsciously, illuminate his future, this creation gave birth to his passion for design.
But it was during a seemingly ordinary trip to Venice that everything changed. By chance, the Alchemist crossed a space-time portal: a gateway to an Invisible Continent that would unify his self-taught work into a coherent artistic work .
In this new universe, he combined his skills as an architect, his know-how in 3D printing and his taste for stories in order to imagine objects capable of opening the doors to anyone's own Invisible Continent .
As you read these lines, the Alchemist explores 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 .
