Michel Mortier

Michel Mortier (1925 - 2015) was a French designer who showed his talent for a design already at an early age. He graduated from the prestigious École des arts appliqués à l'industrie (School of Industrial Art) in Paris at the age of just 19 and was awarded a silver medal at the prestigious Milan Triennale at the age of 26. He won a gold medal at the same triennial only three years later in 1954. In addition to these recognitions, Mortier has been honoured with the prestigious Prix René Gabriel.
