Tomorrow's plants
“To all those who sow."
This is the wonderful dedication, as poetic as it is grateful, that opens her book Les clés du champ. It's a message that goes far beyond a phonetic smile: for if love makes the world go round, it's the field and its operators that enable it to survive.
François Parcy is a researcher in plant biology.
His mission: to understand how plants flower, and how their history came to be written in such a beautiful way. And when he talks about plants and their domestication, he's really talking about humanity.
Its past, and its future. Plants interest everyone because they are the great means on earth of capturing the sun's energy and creating life,” he writes. They are the beginning of the food chain and the object of every temptation. Everyone wants to eat them, and those that are alive today are so because they have managed to defend themselves and survive.” Enlightening!

LVX, the Latin light - in a Roman spelling that affirms our company's unwavering commitment to culture - focuses on art, architecture, watchmaking and gastronomy, but also on styles and technologies: on everything that humanity is capable of when it gives of its best. But it also seeks to provide answers for a public challenged by the evolution of our societies, through encounters with those - philosophers, scientists and artists - who think about the times with elegance.
