After taking over the Hôtel Lutetia, the DIOR boutique in Hong Kong, and the Paul Smith windows in London, Guillaume Piéchaud is extending the "culinary adventure" he began by decorating the tea room of the famous pastry chef of Acide Macaron, Jonathan Blot, by presenting his "shooting stars" at the mythical restaurant in Saint-Germain-des-Prés: L'Alcazar.

This set of three “meteorites”, available in three bright and sparkling colours, is placed under the sign of indulgence and gastronomy.
With this work, this young sculptor-designer, trained in goldsmithing and metalwork at the École Boulle, demonstrates once again his mastery of steel and the interplay of light.
The contrast between the satin-finished metal surface and the rock, which filters a soft light enhanced by starry LED stripes, is both captivating and soothing.
Suspended in the heart of the refined setting of the Alcazar’s grand hall, it radiates three qualities intrinsic to this space: gentleness, boldness, and contemporary style.
