The founders

Emmanuel

Emmanuel was born in Paris, and even though he travelled the world, spent a lot of time in the USA, he affirms himself as a true Parisian. Born in a family where arts where cherished, he developed since he was young a curiosity for cultural wonders. Graduated from la Sorbonne University with a philosophy master, his passion for the city of Paris and his curiosity for beautiful things in general started shaping up his professional career. He created his own production company at the age of 20 and by 25 he had produced and directed over 10 plays, collaborating with many international artists: scenographers, performers, composers... Looking for a change, he enters the world of luxury when he started helping his father’s cli- ents with their requests in arts, automobile, real estate, cultural life; guiding them through Paris.

ROY

Roy was born and raised on a 70x30km island in the middle of the Caribbean sea. Whilst the experience gave him his now almost-legendary French-Caribbean accent and his passion for untouched tropical environments, it also made him thirsty to experience the “ rest ” of the world on a first-hand basis driving a bulimia for cultural discoveries. And he has been taking that task seriously, living multiple lives at the same time following one motto: live and learn. Business education in Paris and Boston, his career has focused on Marketing Intelligence in the luxury industry from New-York to Paris. He worked as analyst in Image and Innovation for Moët Hennessy (LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton). He is now Life Curator for the1492company whilst working on his upcoming sculpture exhibition and unsuccessfully trying to improve his horse riding skills.
