“Nature as a source of inspiration seems to have no limits. The works of Guillaume Piéchaud are proof of this. Translating Nature into furniture is not simply a matter of contemplating fauna, flora, or minerals in order to reproduce them. It is, in reality, about capturing the essence of their harmony. While line is the principal component, it is often light that reveals them. Whether it comes from within or without, whether reflected or diffused, it asserts itself, as gentle as it is powerful. This fascination, born from the artist’s love for semi-precious stones, particularly rock crystal, leads him to integrate new dimensions into his works.”
Excerpt from the Monograph “Guillaume Piéchaud,” Loft Editions, 2020

ARTIST

Guillaume Piéchaud is a French sculptor and designer.

Born in 1968, he graduated from the École Boulle (a historical reference amid art and design schools in Europe) in 1988, where he attended engraving techniques of precious metal. He has worked with famous jewellery designers for eight years, creating collections in collaboration with the most important craftsmen and luxury brands.

In parallel with his engraving work, Guillaume Piéchaud has also pursued a proper artistic career. Indeed, at the age of 25, he chose to reconvert into the design and developed progressively a practice that can be placed at the border between sculpture and design, informed by his passion for metalwork.

Since 2009 he has been producing several pieces of furniture, genuine sculptures made of stainless steel, in collaboration with the LOFT Gallery. These objects have simple shapes and clean lines, translating to a larger scale all the skills he acquired from his education as a jewellery maker.
