At Guidon Studio, we are continually inspired by the intersection of design and symbolism, and the Paris 2024 Olympic torch stands as a stunning example of this union. Designed by renowned French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, the torch is more than a vessel for the Olympic flame; it is a masterpiece of artistry and innovation. Crafted to reflect the core themes of Equality, Water, and Peace, the torch encapsulates the spirit of the Paris 2024 Games with its unique form, vibrant color, and thoughtful symbolism.

The torch’s design emphasizes Equality, a fundamental value of the Paris 2024 Games. Its perfectly symmetrical structure mirrors the commitment to gender parity, with equal numbers of male and female athletes participating for the first time in Olympic history. This symmetry is not just a visual choice but a representation of fairness and balance, embodying the Games’ dedication to inclusivity and equal opportunity for all athletes.

Water, an essential element in the Paris 2024 narrative, profoundly influences the torch’s design. Lehanneur’s creation features flowing, three-dimensional effects that mimic water’s dynamic movements and reflections. These rippling patterns capture the essence of the Seine River, which will play a central role in the Games, from the opening ceremony to various Olympic and Paralympic events. The torch’s journey across the oceans to six overseas territories further underscores the connection between water and the global unity the Games promote.

Lastly, the torch’s embodiment of Peace is evident in its gentle curves and rounded lines, exuding a sense of harmony and tranquility.This design choice is a nod to the ancient tradition of the Olympic Truce, symbolizing the Games’ ongoing mission to promote unity and goodwill among nations. The torch’s pure and elemental form conveys a message of generosity and solidarity, essential to the Olympic and Paralympic spirit.

At Guidon Studio, we find profound inspiration in this exquisite design, as it perfectly marries aesthetic beauty with deep, meaningful symbolism, driving us to infuse our own projects with similar levels of elegance and purpose.

Thank you for being part of our community, where we celebrate the innovation that enrich our lives and spaces.

Warm regards,

The Guidon Studio Team
