Created by the designer Mathieu Matégot in the 1950s, the Matégot Coat Rack has been reissued by Gubi. A design classic par excellence, it consists of three lacquered-metal arms connected by a brass centrepiece. Its simple and elegant lines make this wall-mounted coat rack a timeless piece, perfect for an entrance hall.
Born in 1910 in Hungary, Mathieu Matégot studied at the Budapest School of Fine Arts. After completing his studies, he began designing sets for the national theatre. He moved to France in 1931, where he worked in a variety of fields: set designer for the Folies Bergères, window dresser for Galeries Lafayette and stylist for Parisian fashion houses.At the end of the 1930s, the painting he had never stopped doing led him to a new mode of expression: tapestry. The Second World War interrupted its activity. He volunteered for the French army and was taken prisoner before being released in 1945. On his return, he set up a furniture design workshop in Paris. Metal, rattan, glass, wood, Formica, leather and, above all, perforated sheeting are all used in the design of chairs, armchairs, tables, sideboards, sideboards, desks and objects for the home.His work as a designer covered a relatively short period, until the early 1960s. During this period, he created the "Nagasaki" tripod chair (1954) and the "Copacabana" armchair (1955). These two pieces, made from steel tube and perforated sheet, a material that Mathieu Matégot was one of the first to use, are particularly representative of his work. During this decade, he also worked on a number of decoration projects in France and abroad. Alongside Prouvé, Royère, Perriand and the ceramist Georges Jouve, with whom he collaborated on a range of projects, he was one of the most widely recognised French designers of the period.
