About · The duo

We are Due.
Carol & Romain.

Carol & Romain Battesti bring together their perspectives and know-how to conceive, produce and bring to life creative, cultural and singular projects.

Together

Carol and Romain met where their worlds meet: between a story looking for its shape and a place looking for its soul. She writes the stories; he gives them a table, a soundtrack, a setting. Married in life as in work, they share the same passion for images, music and culture, and one conviction: every project is a story to be lived. Due was born from that love, for each other and for stories well told.

Strategy · Communication · Creative direction

Carol

Carol has been building stories for twenty years. At Nike, her job was called Sport Culture: turning the sneaker into an object of popular culture, from Paris to Portland. She went on to work with Ralph Lauren, Marine Serre and many fashion, beauty and lifestyle houses, from strategy to offer storytelling, through campaigns and images. Her passions feed her as much as her work: dance, theatre, music, and street photography, which she has practised for ten years. She looks at the world as a stage, searching for what makes it desirable. At Due, she leads strategy, communication and creative direction.

Production · Experience · Gastronomy

Romain

Romain creates places where you want to stay, and tables you want to come back to. A gourmet and an excellent cook, he has a boundless knowledge of natural wine, which he shares the way you would share a record. Maison Sage, Rita, Fripon, Club 1999: each time a kitchen, a cellar, a soundtrack, a way of welcoming people. Art director of Le Showcase and Le Rouge, resident DJ at Les Bains, he knows how to turn a meal or a night into an experience. On a film set as in a venue, he is the producer: he turns an idea into a lived moment. At Due, he leads production, experience and the table.

We don’t just conceive. We open places, produce films, make the images. And make people want to be there.
