Inspired by ancient Rome
The Luna floor lamp was inspired by a visit to the Pantheon in Rome.
This dizzying dome, with its perfectly geometric design, and which opens in the center with an oculus pointing towards the sky, made me think of a spaceship.
Yet it is a stone structure that is over 2000 years old…
This temple dedicated to all the deities of the ancient religion inspired me to create this lamppost, which is both futuristic in its form and very classic in its proportions.
The light is contained in a hammered steel basin decorated with white gold leaf.
This large, shimmering metal moon is supported on a tall tripod of hammered and patinated steel.
All aboard for Olympus!

Strength and precision
All my steel creations are forged and then hand-patinated.
I chose a patina called "forged black" which is like a signature of all my pieces.
The "black forge" patina is an ancient technique which consists of fixing onto the metal the scale which forms naturally on the surface under the combined action of the high temperature of the fire and the striking of the metal on the anvil.
This traditional patina allows the metal to shine with discreet touches while bringing warmth to the steel through a subtle range of shades from anthracite grey to black.
It's all about the art of revealing the strength and softness of metal.
