With this collection, he has ventured into an entirely new aesthetic and revealed a more intimate side of his creative process. Sweet Thing references both David Bowie’s iconic song and one of John Carpenter’s biggest hits. This series marked a turning point, not only in the way he creates the objects, but also in the very nature of production.
Each piece is hand-carved in his workshop before being cast in bronze in a French foundry and then finished in the workshop. The texture he developed is the result of a particular process that reminds him of the science fiction movies of his childhood. It evokes an extraordinary beauty, mixing the organic and the futuristic in a style all its own.
Edition: Each piece is unique
William Guillon
France
William Guillon is a French designer based in Bordeaux. He is influenced by powerful artistic universes imbued with a certain modern melancholy. Obsessed with a dystopian futuristic vision, the issues he addresses are charged with this attraction to strong imagery. Beyond his influences, he is driven by a love for noble material, raw material to be worked on, to embellish without altering it. Attaching particular value to French craftsmanship, he designs his works as high quality objects, without ever compromising aesthetics in favor of ease. After a Master 2 of Artistic Director at the ECV of Bordeaux, William Guillon founded his studio from a reflection around black: his interest in luminous objects was born from a desire to sculpt darkness as a material precious, pure that he models with the help of light. Its collections have been hosted in galleries (Galerie Tools Paris 7th) as well as by the design site Kolkhoze and by Bon Marché in its winter 2017/2018 selection. William Guillon creations, handmade in France, are all available in many finishes and materials. William Guillon is now represented in Paris, Madrid, Los Angeles and New York.
