Art and design gallery Galerie SCENE OUVERTE inaugurates their new exhibition space in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, with the solo show ‘Prométhée’ by the prolific architecture and design studio RoWin’Atelier. Featuring a new limited series of tables, lamps and vases, Prométhée marks a new chapter in the studio’s practice – for the first time, RoWin’Atelier transcend their design-centric roots to explore the realm of craftsmanship. Fascinated with the transformative effects of fire and heat on ceramic, lava stone, bronze, copper, lead crystal, glass paste, and obsidian, the studio unveils an immense universe of aesthetic possibilities, bringing to life a collection that reflects their commitment to unparalleled authenticity and artisanal excellence.

Founded by French architects Hervé Winkler and Frédéric Rochette, RoWin’Atelier has established a reputation for its seamless fusion of architecture and design. Rhythm, structure, and virtuosity, combined with a rich tapestry of visual references, including 20th-century decorative arts and archeological artefacts, are at the core of the duo’s visual language. In ‘Prométhée’, RoWin’Atelier reveals a bold new chapter in its evolution – for the first time, Winkler and Rochette venture into the practice of craft. Immersed in a deep exploration of materiality, the duo becomes fascinated with the transformative effects of fire and heat on various materials, including ceramic, lava stone, bronze, copper, lead crystal, glass paste, and obsidian, leading to the production of a limited series of one-of-a-kind furniture and decorative pieces.
