A course by Guillaume (Atelier Paolo)
Guillaume had several lives before he started creating rugs. He tried his hand at baking, marketing, and fashion before finally settling in Toulouse after falling in love with the tufting technique. It was there in the so-called pink city that he opened his own creative space, Atelier Paolo, where he makes unique, colorful pieces entirely by hand and with lots of love and care.
His style is Mediterranean and bright, with pop art, Fauvist, and Cubist influences. Much like Picasso, Matisse, or Miró, he loves playing around with symbols such as the sun, the moon, or the human eye to create dreamlike works of art.
