Biography: Georges Mathias began his career as an industrial designer at Philips Design, where he refined his know-how. In 1984, he created Georges Mathias Design, a studio that supports prestigious brands such as Renault, Hermès and Louis Vuitton. At the same time, he became involved in passing on his knowledge by becoming a teacher at the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris. Passionate about the balance between form and function, he favors a refined aesthetic and practical efficiency. His creations have earned him several major distinctions: the Prix de la Ville de Paris in 1983, recognition from the Observeur du Design in 1998, and the Prix du Design de la région Île-de-France in 2003. Although he retired in 2013, Georges Mathias' influence remains deeply rooted in the world of design, where his work continues to be admired and studied. See less
