Romain Carpena

It was in the workshop of his uncle, a decorative painter in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, that Romain discovered the trade that would mark him for life.

After studying building painting in Lyon and heritage decorating in Avignon, he trained in prestigious workshops working on historic monuments and modern residences.

With 19 years' experience, including 9 running his own business in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, he decided to set up in Reunion Island under the name “Atelier Carpena.”

Certified by the Chambre des Métiers et de l'Artisanat, the workshop offers expertise in interior and exterior design and decoration, facade restoration, painted decors and the restoration of historic buildings. Romain combines traditional techniques and modern materials to create harmonious, eco-responsible spaces, enriched by his knowledge of art history, architecture and design.

Based in Reunion Island, Atelier Carpena is available to work throughout the Indian Ocean region, in mainland France, and even in the United States. The studio's know-how transcends borders, offering the opportunity to share its expertise and passion internationally.
