Inspiration : LV426 refers to the name of the planet visited by the crew in the movie Alien. William has been obsessed with space and science fiction since he was a child. The worlds created by HR Giger and Moebius have had a very strong impact on his vision, and this is his tribute to them. With this creation referring to their work, he wants to make their universe accessible and awaken curiosity towards this very special aesthetic. In these rooms, one could see branches of tortuous trees, or even fruit grapes. In his mind, it’s an interpretation of the Alien’s creature. This collection in all its complexity required several months of development. Each piece is hand-carved by the artist before being cast in bronze in a French foundry. All pieces are unique and their shapes, finishes (patina and polishing) can be adapted and customized on demand. The lampshades are made in a porcelain workshop in Limoges, the city that historically holds the highest know-how in this field. Each porcelain cocoon is handmade and gives the structure a mineral look. They are all unique and diffuse a soft and warm light in the room. This collection includes horizontal and vertical chandeliers as well as wall lamps.
Edition: Each piece is unique
