Rare Coffee Table by Robert Mathieu, France ca. 1950
About the Item
Robert Mathieu stands out as one of the foremost French lighting designers from the 1950s. Trained at the prestigious Boulle School, he initially pursued a career in watchmaking before embarking on luminaire design in 1949. His meticulous craftsmanship and clean lines garnered him a distinguished private clientele, including some of the most prestigious hotels.
Venturing beyond lighting, Mathieu occasionally explored the creation of coffee tables. Infusing a playful spirit with perforated metal, a technique evident in some of his aluminum reflectors, he consistently demonstrated a sharp attention to detail.
This rare coffee table features a black lacquered tubular structure that ingeniously incorporates a vibrant yellow perforated metal magazine rack. The table showcases a trapezoidal glass top, cast on sand and elegantly secured by brass cabochons. A true testament to Mathieu's design finesse, this piece captures the essence of his limited yet impactful production.
