Throughout his weavings, Guillaume invites us on a journey to explore and discover the outdoor world. Found of nature and wildlife, his inspiration comes from the encounters he makes in the mountains surrounding the studio, should it be the shape of tree, the colour of a flower or the fleece of an animal. Therefore, His weavings reveal a subtil alchemy between elegance and simplicity, daring and unprecedented.

As an artist, contemplation is the foundation of his creativity. Undeniably, he finds inspiration far from fast paced modern life, enjoying a walk in the woods with the Muses as companions.

The weaver

Subtil shades, on one side, and strong contrasts, on the other, are some of the boundaries of Guillaume’s weaving repertoire. Simple and refined out of time designs come from the inspiration he finds in the colours of nature throughout the seasons. With such inspiration, classical fabrics such as Prince of Wales check, tweed, houndstooth or herringbone do not get old, as if a philosopher’s stone was somehow operating at the studio.

Non sans un grain de folie, notre tisserand ne recule devant aucune difficulté et a fait sa spécialité des techniques de tissage ancestrales les plus élaborées comme le damassé ou les lampas. Dès lors, il n’a de cesse de les réinventer, de les métisser et d’enrichir la palette des possibilités esthétiques qu’elles ouvrent.
Perfectionniste et attaché au renouveau, il sait nous proposer un design unique et durable en réinterprétant la fonction des objets textiles du quotidien, pour des usages modernes, mais dont les secrets de fabrication se perdent dans la nuit des temps. 

Sa créativité et son sens de l’innovation ont été récompensés à l’occasion de l’édition 2023 de Résonances, le Salon européen des métiers d’art de Strasbourg, par le prix “Coup de Coeur du Mobilier national”.
