Delicious pieces from Mathieu Lehanneur
by Mihai Gurei

Mathieu is a maverick. He is floating between product design, science, biology, furniture and interior design. He is a breath of fresh air (literally!) among the star system designers of today. His pieces are not perfect (I own an Andrea purifier and is quite tricky to water the plant) but they are opening discussions about the future of the technology and our domestic landscape. One of his latest creations has an unusual glam factor for his regular output but is nevertheless charming. Delicious range of storage units for Tools Galerie is appealing as a hip Chanel bag or a mouthwatering Belgian chocolate. The collection will be in show from 2nd of April until 29th of May in the Metal(s) collective show at Tools Galerie, 119 rue Vieille du Temple, Paris. Some of the modules are already available for sale but I would love to see this range included in the portfolio of a contemporary design brand such as Cappellini or Established&Sons. Hearing anyone?
