The stories behind the lamps

"The world of Irrational Flames comprises six invisible cities, each embodying ideas such as dreams, wealth or imagination, which awaken the explorer in us all. When I discovered these cities, I combined my skills as an architect with my passion for design to capture their atmospheres and encapsulate them in lamps. You can discover these unique cities here. Each lamp you order comes with a detailed description of the customs, architecture and climate of the city associated with it. I'll also provide you with a series of photos that I took on location."

#1 DODGIA - dreams

Dodgia was the first town I discovered. It is notable for its many silver domes and its architecture composed entirely of white marble. In the Irrational Flames region, it is renowned for its splendid theatre, which teaches the consequences, both positive and negative, of following your dreams. A place that will invite you to meditate on the paradoxes of ambition.

The lamps named Élise, Louise et Hélène will take you on a tour of Dodgia's fabulous theatre.


#2 NOCTEA - the night

Famous for its unparalleled sunsets, Noctea is the most bewitching city in Irrational Flames. At night, its mysterious energies can either make you wish you'd stayed awake or fascinate you with hallucinating visions. A city that will change the way you look at nightlife.

The lamps named Chloé et Constance will let you admire the last glimmers of Noctea.


#3 MIDORNE - wealth

There is a dazzling city, sculpted from the most precious materials. According to legend, it's hidden in the heart of a salt desert. I can confirm that this is no daydream: Midorne does exist. But she won't reveal herself to just anyone. You'll have to use your charms to see it rise from the ground. Then you'll understand that wealth is only a bright prospect for those who hold the key.

If you want to know how to make the prestigious city of Midorne appear, choose the lamps named Amélie et Delphine.


#4 OBEDIA - destiny

Obedia is a city that could make you a prisoner or a great adventurer. On your first encounter with this city, you'll have the chance to choose your destiny: take the main road, which will lead you into the heart of the city, or choose the back door that will take you to its wild, unexplored territories. It's up to you to decide which environment will make you the hero of your journey.

You can choose your path with the lamps named Emma, Marguerite et Charlotte.


#5 INOVIA - ideas

If you're feeling creative, I strongly advise you to visit Inovia. It's where the greatest philosophers, poets and architects go on pilgrimage at least once in their lives, because this is the city where all the world's knowledge is concentrated. It's a journey from which you'll emerge inspired and enriched.

You can set sail for Inovia with the lamps named Céleste et Sophie.


#6 VERIDISIA - the judgments

Veridisia is the city I'd recommend as the final stop on your journey, because the ordeal awaiting you there will require you to know yourself inside out. If you do, you could become the master of your own city.

If you feel ready, choose the lamps named Élodie.
