Vintage pot cover in black metal, designed by Mathieu Matégot, one of the most famous French designers of the 1950s.

Circa: 1950
Dimensions: Total height: 24.5cm - Diameter: 31cm

Mathieu MATEGOT is renowned for his innovative use of a wide range of materials, including wood, leather, glass, Formica and perforated sheeting, which he was the first designer to adapt to furniture design.

In 1954 he designed the Nagasaki chair, which was to become one of his most famous creations.

Mathieu Matégot was born in Hungary in 1910. He studied at the Budapest School of Fine Arts. He then visited Italy and the United States before deciding to settle in France.
He began his career as a window dresser at Galeries Lafayette.

In 1933, he began designing furniture using rattan and metal. However, during the war, he decided to enlist but was taken prisoner. After the Liberation, he devoted himself to creating transparent metal objects and opened his own workshop in Paris and then in Casablanca. He exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs et d'Automne in 1952.
He quickly achieved worldwide success as a designer and then as an upholsterer, as demonstrated by the presence of his works in major museums.
