Sammode lights up the Olympic Torch at the Hyères Design Parade

Sammode had the pleasure and honor of taking part in the Design Parade at the Villa Noailles in Hyères from June 27 to 30, lighting the Olympic Torch designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, which was presented at the Tour des Templiers.

“Designing the Games Torch is a designer’s dream. A once-in-a-lifetime dream, like a miraculous encounter with History. As ritualistic as it is magical, the Torch is a mythical object. A symbol of cohesion and sharing, it is the real key to the Games. It will travel thousands of kilometers, passed from hand to hand, on land and sea. For Paris 2024, and for the first time in its history, it plays on perfect symmetry to better speak to us of equality. I wanted it to be extremely pure, iconic and almost essential. As simple as a hyphen, as fluid as a flame. – Mathieu Lehanneur.

The iconic Brueghel luminaire was chosen to highlight this universal symbol. The Design Parade remains a must-see event for design and architecture enthusiasts.

Together, we continue to celebrate innovation, design and excellence.
