Mathieu Peyroulet Ghilini

Born in Sallanches (France) in 1983, Mathieu Peyroulet Ghilini is a designer.

Mathieu Peyroulet Ghilini graduated with honours from ENSCI-Les Ateliers School of Industrial Design for his project Sophistication (2012). Largely based on the history of design and architecture, the research involved focused on various interpretations of the sophistication of a form, and was awarded the Villa Noailles Festival’s Grand Jury Prize in 2013. Peyroulet Ghilini then became designer in residence at Sèvres-National Manufacture and Museum, and at the International Research Centre for Glass and Visual Arts (CIRVA) in Marseille. Awarded a residency at Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto in 2017 alongside Laureline Galliot, he was also named the Maison et Objet Fair’s “Rising Talent” in 2020.

The project he is working on at Villa Medici is entitled “Virtualisation, Fragment, Objet en attente” (Virtualisation, Fragment, Object in Waiting). It examines the existence of forms and their tangible expression, along with the relationships they have with each other through, the prism of technology.
