Dominique Imbert, internationally renowned sculptor and designer, was nearly killed a few days after his birth, burned to death by an accidental overdose of X-rays that left him severely disabled. Burned to a crisp, he has always been viscerally fascinated by fire, and instead of rejecting the forbidden embers, he has devoted his life to exalting the flames. Behind the flames, behind the unwavering success of the creator of Focus fireplaces, his life is a fierce battle against pain and the destiny that was promised to him, a path of rebellion and self-affirmation, an unbridled accession to freedom.
