To enhance its effect, Guillon used solid oak which he textured to the extreme, burning and brushing it numerous times. The bronze feet of the table design and gradient give the impression of floating and bring a certain tension to the whole Guillon created this bronze mirror patinated Both the reflective part and frame are made in bronze which gives a very special effect to the reflection This piece appears to be evocative of an altar from another time and the creative procedure is restarted from the beginning for each object Omnia Vanitas (All is vanity) is a way for Guillon to explore and experiment around themes of the emptiness of existence and the impermanence of all things. By creating a set of accessories that he calls Vanities he prompts us to question the place occupied by objects in our lives and the traces we leave on earth Ashes To Ashes collection is an echo of
