Mathieu Lehanneur

Mathieu Lehanneur, one of the “World top designers and influencers” according to magazine Wallpaper (UK) and Surface (US), is a French designer at the forefront of the international design scene. His innovative approach combines design, science, art and technology, striving to maximize human welfare. To create his science-inspired humanistic projects, Mathieu looks at people as complex structures needing not only fancy chairs, but clean air, sustainable food, good health, and a desire to live better.  His works are in the permanent collections at the MoMa (New York and San Francisco), Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris). Mathieu’s keynote will focus on the in-between terrain where scientific complexity meets the simplicity of great design.
