An appetite for research is something he discovered very early on. Whilst completing his studies at the <strong>French National Institute for Advanced Studies in Industrial Design<\/strong> (Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure de Cr\u00e9ation Industrielle \u2013 ENSCI-Les Ateliers), his final year thesis focused on<strong> therapeutic design<\/strong>, a project now referenced at the <strong>MOMA<\/strong> in New York. A few years later, he worked hand-in-hand with Harvard professor David Edwards to design <strong>Andrea<\/strong>, an object that uses living plants to purify the air, based on tests carried out by <strong>NASA<\/strong>. Today, Mathieu Lehanneur is capable of balancing a one-tonne marble table top on nothing more than a few glass baubles.<em> \u201cIt was an extremely precarious idea to begin with. I needed some good fairies to make it happen,\u201d<\/em> he comments. In this instance, the sprinkling of stardust came from a master glassmaker who agreed to help him with his research. 2024 already looks set to be a big year. Mathieu Lehanneur has just opened <strong>La Factory<\/strong>, the design office-workshop from which he designs, experiments, assembles and ships out everything that bears his name. He has designed the Olympic torch for the<strong> Paris Olympics<\/strong>. He will be celebrating his 50th birthday and <strong>Maison&amp;Objet<\/strong> will be awarding him their highest accolade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/mathieu-lehanneur-genuine-multi-disciplinary-approach-creativity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-95359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_%C2%A9DR_0-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-640x343.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-450x241.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/47-Nov-T-MathieuLehanneur-DOTY__1120x600_image003-2_\u00a9DR_0-1-225x120.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">SEE ALSO<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/paris-luxury-guide-maison-objet-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">A Paris Luxury Guide For Maison&amp;Objet 2024<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\/\/<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What do you think?
