The Paris Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games will be held next year, and the torch relay ceremony of each session is also the focus of public attention. This time, Mathieu Lehanneur was invited to design the torch, and the three concepts of equality, water and peace were integrated into it.
Passing the Olympic torch is an indicator of the value and spirit of sports competition, and it is an important ceremony for the opening of the Olympic Games. This time, the designer Mathieu Lehanneur was invited to make a brand new Olympic torch. Mathieu Lehanneur said that creating the Olympic torch is a designer’s once-in-a-lifetime dream. It is like an extraordinary encounter with history. It is both ceremonial and magical. It is a mythical object. As a symbol of cohesion and sharing, it is indeed in the Olympic Games play a key role.
The design of the torch is inspired by the three elements of equality, water, and peace. Mathieu Lehanneur expresses equality through the horizontal and vertical symmetry of the object, and the water element refers to the Seine River and reflects it through the 3D vibration effect on the torch to reproduce the ripples of water Movement and the reflection of light, and then through the curved shape to express peace, embody tenderness, generosity and unity.
Torch manufacturer ArcelorMittal expects to produce 2,000 torches for the 2024 Paris Olympics, five times fewer than in the past, to reduce waste generated during manufacture.
