Mathieu Matégot, the poet of perforated metal
Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) invented furniture that didn't exist. A Franco-Hungarian designer settled in Paris after the war, he developed a folding process for perforated metal and applied it with unique virtuosity to domestic furniture. So came armchairs, tables, screens, coat racks and lamps with an instantly recognisable visual identity: openwork patterns, supple lines, graphic palette. A French school unto itself, looking towards the Atelier de Recherche Plastique without ever being confined to it.
The Matégot armchair and his Antony table, his Satellite lamp and his perforated metal screens are now references on the 1950s furniture market. A precious French signature that blends rattan, lacquered metal and Japonist graphics to redefine modern décor.
