Mathieu Lehanneur: 25 Years of Creation The Most Comprehensive Monograph on the French Designer to Date, published by Phaidon

Phaidon releases this October 2026 Mathieu Lehanneur, a new monograph documenting 25 years of creation by the French designer. Developed with Lehanneur's direct involvement in the editorial direction and writing, the book brings together photography, archival materials, drawings, and essays to document the designer's multidisciplinary practice and offer a rare look at how his ideas take shape from initial research to finished works.

Known for moving between disciplines and experimenting with everything from natural phenomena to advanced technologies, Lehanneur has built a body of work that resists definition by any single category. His projects range from collectible and product design, artworks, usable high-tech devices, and large-scale installations, such as the Olympic torch and cauldron created for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Rather than simply presenting finished works, the monograph explores Lehanneur's universe, practice, and unexpected directions that shaped them.
