About the Item

An elegant mid-century modern magazine rack side table by Mathieu Matégot, designed in France in the 1950s. This iconic piece showcases Matégot’s signature use of perforated sheet metal—known as Rigitulle—paired with a refined metal structure, creating a light yet sculptural form. Both functional and decorative, the design seamlessly combines a side table surface with integrated magazine storage, embodying the ingenuity and modern lifestyle of the postwar era. The perforated metal adds visual texture while maintaining an airy, minimalist aesthetic characteristic of French mid-century design. Dimensions: Height: 23.6 in (55 cm) Width: 24.4 in (57 cm) Depth: 11.8 in (30 cm) The piece has been carefully refinished in its original color, preserving its authentic character while enhancing its presentation. A highly collectible example of Matégot’s innovative approach to industrial materials and modern design. Biography (SEO-optimized): Mathieu Matégot (1910–2001) was a Hungarian-born French designer and one of the most influential figures of mid-century modern design. After moving to France in the 1930s, he developed a unique design language that blended craftsmanship with industrial techniques. Following World War II, Matégot pioneered the use of perforated sheet metal, which he called Rigitulle. This innovative material allowed him to create lightweight, flexible, and sculptural furniture forms that became his signature style. His work is distinguished by its playful elegance, organic shapes, and inventive use of materials. During the 1950s, Matégot produced some of his most iconic designs, including furniture, lighting, and decorative objects that are now highly sought after by collectors worldwide. In the 1960s, he shifted his focus toward tapestry design, where he continued to explore texture and abstraction. Today, Mathieu Matégot’s creations are celebrated as quintessential examples of French mid-century modern design, combining artistic vision with technical innovation.
