Created by renowned French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay cauldron embodies the spirit of unity and celebration. Shaped as a mesmerizing ring of fire suspended above a water-like surface, it symbolizes the torch's journey across the Mediterranean to the heart of France.
The cauldron's upper section features an almost floating ring with pure lines, representing fraternity and the everlasting spirit of peace that the Olympics stand for. By blending elements of fire and water, the design captures both the energy of the competition and the calmness of camaraderie, inviting people from around the world to come together, share, and celebrate this global event.
