With this collection, I stepped into a different territory, revealing a more intimate side of my creative process. It felt like opening a door I had only glimpsed before.The name Sweet Thing carries a double reference. It speaks to the haunting song by David Bowie, but also to the evocative worlds crafted by John Carpenter. Two universes that have left a profound mark on my imagination.Each piece is meticulously sculpted by hand in the studio, then cast in bronze at a French foundry, before being carefully finished and polished back in the workshop.The texture I developed for this series is the result of a special process, something almost alchemical, inspired by the science fiction films that shaped my childhood. It carries a sense of otherworldly beauty, where organic forms meet futuristic visions and create a language that feels both familiar and strange. Sweet Thing is more than a collection. It is a place where past dreams and future memories collide.William GuillonWilliam Guillon’s main influences are strong artistic movements, often dark and filled with modern melancholy. Obsessed with a futuristic dystopic vision, the issues he adresses are always loaded with his attraction for a strong imagery. Beyond his influences, he has always been driven by his love for noble materials, raw materials to work on and embellish without altering them. Always valuing handicraft work, his objects are designed as high quality products, without ever compromising the aesthetics for the easy option.William Guillon has set up his studio with, as a basis, a reflexion around black and darkness. His interest for luminous objects was indeed born of a desire to carve this darkness with light as if it were a pure and precious material. William Guillon’s creations are handmade in France, are all available in various finishes and materials.
