mathias prize

The Mathias Prize, organised by the MATIÈRES LIBRES Association, supports young creators, students from applied arts schools, craft schools, or self-taught artists. The jury is chosen from figures in applied arts, design, decoration, media, as well as business leaders. They meet to select the three most accomplished and original projects featuring bold use of materials. The jury's "Coup de Coeur" awards and the Maison Baccarat "Alchemy of Joy" prize are also selected on this occasion.
