SWEET THING TALL One-of-a-kind bronze lamp

Bronze floor lamp by William Guillon. Fascinated by space and science fiction, William Guillon gives us an interpretation of another world via his extraordinary organic light sculptures.

These pieces marked the beginning of a new chapter for William Guillon’s studio, a key moment in its history. 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.
