Description

The Athina table lamp is an ode to the Column. Not an addition of metaphysical
mass, but rather a hollow volume composed of bespoke folded sheets of metal
meticulously assembled with industrial blind nuts, a discreet intrusion into the
notion of Scale and Time.

Its faceted surface, evoking the Column as a folded wall, catches and vibrates
with light, crowned with a fluid metallic drapery woven from chainmail. Like
the Caryatids of the Acropolis of Athens, this mantle recalls the elegance of
carved garments and diffuses light with softness, balancing strength and grace,
reminding us that the Column, the very essence of Architecture, is intimately tied
to the human figure, a vertical rising from earth towards sky.

It stands with quiet power, its contemporary silhouette deeply rooted in ancient
archetypes, towards a new monumentality.

About Romain Basile Petrot Visit Showroom →

Romain Basile Petrot (b. 1995, Paris) is an independent designer and architect based in Paris, working across both spatial and object design. He established his own creative practice in 2025, focusing on projects that reflect his keen understanding of form, composition, and materiality. He views his furniture pieces as architecture, as constructions in which invisible forces are at play and shape radical geometries. His design process is always attentive to detail and to the evocation of architectural notions. Having lived in Athens and Marrakech for several years, his creations are deeply influenced by local craftsmanship, and vernacular architecture, as well as by personal memories, weaving fragments of place, atmosphere, and history into his work. His approach centers on material experimentation, guided by a sensitive process of narration. He consistently works with raw materials, exploring their physical properties as a starting point to craft expressive objects infused with abstraction. Beyond design, his practice extends to interiors and architectural interventions, where the same attention to structural clarity and material poetics unfolds on a larger scale. Oscillating between austerity and sensuality, rigor and freedom, his practice consistently seeks to create objects and spaces that resonate with a profound sense of timelessness.
