“Space junk” which from afar resembles tiny paint specks, are debris left over by humans satellites that are now trapped into the universe. The debris have different scales depending on the point of view.
The shapes were inspired by the forms of actual debris, the paint specks laser cut on each shape represent the perception of space junk in the universe. The sculpture plays with lights and shadows to disorient the viewer.
DEBRIS
These works focus on debris accumulated on a surface.
The wood was carved to create the dimensional effect of the paint. It challenges the traditional ways of painting
The carving is very delicate in order to almost be perceived as a thin layer of paint. When looking closer at the carved areas, the wood grain becomes visible and creates a beautiful natural dynamic.

These works are inspired by the duality between dark and light alluding to an eclipse. Saber’s beads is the broken arc of illumination surrounding the moon. The gold has been carved with a laser cutter to be damaged and broken. They are references to the relationship between nature and humanity.

MIAMI ART WEEK 2025
Joyce Billet Unveils Dual Exhibitions Exploring Art, Design, and Nature
at Design Miami and the Miami Design District
Design Miami 2025: Special Project by Joyce Billet
Presented by Villa Albertine with plants by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
Preview Day: December 2, 2025 | Public Days: December 3 to 7, 2025
1901 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139
November 2025, Miami, FL – During Miami Art Week 2025, French-American artist and designer Joyce Billet presents two complementary exhibitions in Miami, offering an intimate look at her process alongside immersive, inhabitable works. At Design Miami, from the December 2 preview through public days December 3-7, Billet’s Special Project presented by Villa Albertine with plants courtesy of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, brings together two series of sculptural benches, Rising and Rooted, along with Woven, a living wall sculpture. Together, these works explore the fluid boundary between art, design, and environment. The benches invite visitors to pause and inhabit a space where materiality, technology, and nature converge. Functional and tactile, they suggest both rootedness and elevation. Woven, produced with curatorial support from Sophia Ballesteros, integrates orchids with sculpted plywood, crystallizing Billet’s core exploration of how humanity can coexist with nature while embracing technology. From hand-painted studies to computed, digital works, Billet’s process echoes the Design Miami 2025 theme, Make. Believe., which celebrates how imagination becomes tangible innovation.
In the Miami Design District from November 30 to December 7, visitors are invited into the studio of Joyce Billet for an immersive presentation that unveils the creative process behind her monumental works. Featuring large-scale paintings alongside a dynamic studio environment, the installation offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of Billet’s practice, from initial sketches and material studies to digital models and fully realized pieces.
Highlights include Billet’s permanent mural commissioned for Dior’s New York flagship and sculptural benches and canopies designed for a major public art initiative. This presentation underscores her distinctive fusion of expressive painting, architectural sensibility, and advanced fabrication techniques, illuminating how contemporary artists translate intimate gestures into impactful works that shape both public and private spaces.
Guests are encouraged to engage with the layered dialogue between handcraft and technology, gaining insight into the transformation of studio experimentation into large-scale installations.

2025 IN REVIEW
Joyce Billet at the House of Dior New York
September 2025, New York, NY – A large-scale commission by Joyce Billet is installed in the VIP lounge of Dior’s new flagship store on 57th and Madison. Designed by Peter Marino, the four-story boutique brings together art, fashion, and architecture. Joyce’s work offers a quiet counterpoint to the energy of the city, grounded in material, and shaped through her distinct language of etched wood and textured form.
"Reflecting the excellence of the House, each space expresses a unique identity: from the garden by Peter Wirtz in the first-floor window vitrine, to the alcove dedicated to jewelry, clad in gilded wood, from the VIP lounge adorned with an exclusive ornament by Joyce Billet to Dior Spa New York, a superb 400-square-meter haven of peace, infusing the fourth floor with the hushed elegance of haute couture salons." — Dior
Joyce's installation reflects the boutique’s blend of historic and modern design, mirroring Dior’s aesthetic language: elegant, tactile, and deeply considered.
