Mathieu Matêgot’s Organic Forms Presented by the Danish Interior Design Company Gubi.
Mathieu Matégot’s lightness of touch created a sense of joy and was the ground breaking and innovative techniques that resulted in unique aesthetics and, above all, contemporary designs.
Today, Matégot’s designs are equally fit for the purpose as when they were originally conceived, and his legendary designs are both timeless and classic.
Like many of his peers Mategot travelled the world in search of inspiration, techniques and upon return transformed these impressions into his own unique designs and interpretations. Whether it was industrial processes or aesthetics, he always collected and interpreted – he even patented and set up his own production to apply these new technologies into his designs, He was a true innovator of his time!
From the spring of 2014 Gubi’s collection of original Mategot designs will include: The Nagasaki Chair & Stool, The Dedal Shelf, The Mategot Coatrack and the Kangourou Table plus four new pieces; The Mategot Trolley, The Demon Shelf and the Copacabana chair and tables.
It was presented this year at IMM Cologne, at Maison & Object Paris and at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair. The new designs are now available at selected retailers, so the legendary Mathieu Mategot is now flirting with Danish interior designers.
