OMNIA VANITAS Existential questions around death, the passage of time and the meaning of life are omnipresent subjects in the creative process of William Guillon.

OMNIA VANITAS (“All is vanity”) is a way for him to explore and experiment around themes of the emptiness of exis- tence 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.

This collection in all its complexity required several months of development. As in the Sweet Thing collection, each piece is sculpted by hand by the artist before it is cast in white bronze in a French foundry.

All the pieces are unique and their shapes, finishes (patina and polish) can be adapted and customized on demand.
