Mathieu Matégot
Hungarian, 1910 - 2001
Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) was a Hungarian-French designer and artist who worked in the mid-20th century. He was known for his innovative use of materials and his distinctive style, which combined organic forms with modernist design principles.
Matégot was born in Hungary and trained as a traditional metalworker before moving to Paris in the 1930s. There, he began experimenting with new materials, such as perforated metal sheets and tubular steel, and incorporating them into his designs.
One of Matégot's most famous designs is the "Kangourou" rocking chair, which he created in 1954. The chair featured a tubular steel frame and a seat and back made of perforated metal, giving it a light and airy appearance. Matégot's designs were often marked by their playful, organic shapes and their use of bright, bold colors.
In addition to his furniture designs, Matégot also created lighting fixtures, wall decorations, and other home accessories. He was awarded several prestigious design awards throughout his career, including the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale in 1951.
Today, Matégot's designs are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and his legacy continues to inspire contemporary designers. His work can be found in many museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris and the Vitra Design Museum in Germany.
