Sweet thing marked the beginning of a new chapter for my studio, a moment that reshaped the way i create and the way i think about my work. 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 guillon william 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.
