*Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001):
Born in Hungary on April 4, 1910, Mathieu Matégot spent four years at the Budapest School of Fine Arts before becoming a theater set designer. In 1931, he moved to Paris, where he worked as a window dresser, producing his first rattan objects on metal frames in 1933, albeit anonymously and by hand. At the same time, from 1939 onwards, the painter he had always been designed his first tapestry cartoons. A prisoner of war, he had the idea, while assigned to a sprocket factory, of building a body from scraps of perforated sheet metal. In 1945, on his return from captivity and when he opened a furniture workshop in Paris, he decided to exploit this material in the form of an easily machinable perforated sheet, patented under the name Rigitulle. For some fifteen years, he produced very small series of furniture, seating, lighting and other objects in light, often unexpected shapes, predominantly in black or brightly-colored lacquered metal. He also uses rattan, brass, formica, glass and wood. A member of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD), between 1952 and 1958 he regularly exhibited at the Salon des Arts Ménagers and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs the twenty or so models he created each year, which he sold exclusively to decorating houses. He also receives commissions for interior decoration (offices, apartments, hotels, boutiques, restaurants). These included the bars and restaurants of the first Etoile Drug store on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, the La Saladière restaurant on avenue des Ternes in Paris, and two foyers at the Maison de la Radio in Paris. As demand multiplied, he set up a factory in Casablanca and an agency in London. Health problems forced him to gradually cease all artistic and public activities. He died in Angers on February 17, 2001 at the age of 90.
