About Guillaume

Designer, I am driven by a deep sensitivity to materials and their ability to tell a story. Every detail, every texture, every shade of color, every imperfection becomes a source of inspiration for me to create unique objects and furniture, imbued with emotion and poetry.

My approach to design is based on a balance between intuition and rigor. Each project is an opportunity to enhance materials, play with contrasts, and imagine objects that go beyond their simple functionality to become timeless creations. I seek to give meaning to forms and details, drawing inspiration from both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovations.

A graduate of Strate, École de Design, my career has been enriched by rich and varied collaborations with exceptional brands and artisans. These experiences have allowed me to refine a sensitive and poetic vision of design, where material is at the heart of every creation.

My ambition is to design objects and furniture that evoke emotion, by valuing the richness of materials and the work of the hands that shape them. Through my creations, I seek to tell unique stories, those that create connection, are passed down through time, and deeply touch those who discover them through their singularity.
