Mathieu Lehanneur looks to the cosmos for Particle Horizon exhibition

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur brings together his most emblematic pieces for a cosmology-inspired exhibition, set within the modernist walls of Villa Noailles in southeastern France.
Showcased as part of this year's Design Parade Hyères, Lehanneur's Particle Horizon exhibition collates a number of his most significant designs.
These include his ocean-like marble furniture and Les Cordes chandelier.
The exhibition takes its name from astrophysics, aiming to reflect both the infinitely small and the scale of a universe ? a source of inspiration for many creators, particularly during the Renaissance.
According to the designer, in cosmology the "particle horizon" describes the region of what has or has not already been observed in the universe, what has existed and what does not exist yet. More specifically, it is a measurement of the range of observation or experience we have about the nature of the universe since the Big Bang.
Named after this term, the exhibition is described as "a journey, a landscape and a laboratory." It acts as "a multitude of open doors to our human condition of sentient beings, thinking and breathing".
"This is a brief overview of what we will leave of our passage," Lehanneur added.
The show is organised into three different spaces that each mirror Lehanneur's main areas of interest: the Swimming Pool, the Squash Court and the Terrace.
