The organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games unveiled the design of the event podiums at their headquarters on Thursday. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Eiffel Tower, the podiums feature a metal lace structure that outlines their exterior surfaces, mirroring the tower's elegant design.
Adopting a sleek and elegant color scheme of grey and white, the podiums are constructed using wood and 100% recycled plastic, emphasizing the games' commitment to sustainability. Their modular design allows for flexibility to meet the specific needs of different events.
For example, the podium used for individual events consists of three modules and spans approximately four meters in length, making it perfectly suited for smaller ceremonies. In contrast, the podium for the football award ceremony incorporates 43 modules, extending to an impressive 40 meters to accommodate the scale of the event.
This thoughtful approach not only ensures versatility across a variety of sports but also highlights Paris 2024's dedication to environmentally responsible practices in its infrastructure.
