Guillaume Albouy

Guillaume Albouy graduated in mechanical engineering in Toulouse and completed his training with a master’s in industrial design; his dual background led him to design bicycles. He later moved to Milan and founded the studio Ghiom, with an eclectic portfolio of sporting equipment, consumer products and graphic and brand identity design, and has won an Étoile de l’Observeur du Design and the iF Product Design Award.

Plena, his first project for Foscarini, designed with Eugenio Gargioni, is a large yet light suspension lamp that lights the surface below and the ceiling above.
