Designed by Mathieu Matégot

Mathieu Matégot (1910 - 2001) was a Hungarian designer and architect. After studying at Budapest's school of art and architecture, he settled in France in 1931. He was a volunteer in the French army, was captured and not released until 1944. After returning home, he started producing handmade furniture in Paris. Matégot's organic forms and lightness of touch create a sense of joy and the ground breaking and innovative techniques that he applied resulted in unique aesthetics and furniture designs. He was the first person to combine metal tubing with perforated sheet metal; ritigulle, a technique he patented and also a pairing that particularly characterizes his work.

Mathieu Matégot은 부다페스트에서 예술과 건축 공부를 마친 뒤 국립극장을 위해 태피스트리를 디자인 하였습니다. 1931년 프랑스 군대에 자원해 1944년 복무를 마치고 파리에서 핸드메이드 가국 제작을 시작, 획기적인 기술을 이용한 디자인 클래식을 다수 선보였습니다. 1960년대 초부터는 태피스트리 디자인에 집중했고
이작업은 국제적으로 큰 호평을 받았습니다.
