Didier Guillon is a French Swiss entrepreneur, curator, philanthropist, art collector and artist. He is the Chairman and Art Director of the Valmont Group since 1990. Sharing his vision of aesthetics, Didier dedicates his passion for art to sublimate by creating very limited editions of refined packaging to welcome exceptional formulas. The marriage of art and beauty became the main claim of the brand: When Art meets Beauty.
In 2015, Didier Guillon gives birth to Fondation Valmont an institution hosting his collection and dedicated to the promotion of contemporary art by supporting artists such as Frederic Amat, Joan Gardy Artigas, Isao Llorens Ishikawa Artigas, Jane Le Besque, Leonardo Cimolin, Quentin Garel, Yves Lévêque, Christian Renonciat, Silvano Rubino, Sophie Westerlind and many others. In 2018, Palazzo Bonvicini becomes the main headquarter of Fondation Valmont.
The exhibitions held in this typical 16th century Venetian palace contribute significantly to the Venetian art scene by presenting every year collective projects.
As of January 2022, Didier Guillon appoints his son Maxence to take over Fondation Valmont.
