Description

The Continuum Discontinuum Chair by Romain Basile Petrot is a masterful interplay of form and concept, crafted from intricately incised and folded sheets of metal. Drawing inspiration from Jesús Aparicio’s text «El Muro», this sculptural piece delves into the antinomic architectural principles of heaviness and lightness, exploring how the subtraction of material can evoke profound emotional responses. At the scale of the object, it becomes a poetic study of balance, presence, and the dynamic relationship between mass and void.

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.
