French maison Chaumet has designed and made medals for Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024
For the first time in the history of the Olympics, a high jewellery brand has designed and made medals for both the Olympic and Paralympic games. Set to commence on 26th July in Paris, Olympic Games 2024 will award its winners, medals crafted by a two and half century old French maison – Chaumet as part of the Olympic organisation’s creative partnership with LVMH, the world’s biggest luxury conglomerate which is also the parent company of Chaumet.
In designing the medals, Chaumet has taken inspiration from Paris’ rich art and cultural heritage. In the centre of each medal, Chaumet has added an authentic piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower.
On the obverse side of the medals, Chaumet has paid tribute to Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic games, by refashioning the 2003 design of Greek designer Elena Votsi, of the Greek goddess of victory – Nike against a backdrop of Athens. In the background, positioned behind the Greek goddess on one side is the Athens Acropolis and on the other side of Nike is the Eiffel Tower representing the host city of 2024 games.
For the Paralympic 2024 medals, Chaumet has used the braille language on one side of the medal to portray accessibility as well as honour the French inventor of the language, Louis Braille. The design of the Paralympic 2024 games varies from that of the Olympic medals. The Paralympic medals do not have the Nike goddess on them, instead they feature a view of the Eiffel Tower as seen from the ground up. The Paralympic medals too feature the hexagon shaped iron from the Eiffel Tower on one side.
