About the Item

A beautifully designed set of exterior chairs attributed to Mathieu Matégot (1910 – 2001), each with perforated steel backs, seat and arm rests set on tubular steel frames. Dating to the 1950’s, these outstanding chairs radiate with style. Matégot volunteered for the French army at the start of World War II (1939–45) and was taken prisoner, being freed in 1944. As a prisoner, he worked in a plant manufacturing mechanical accessories, where he learned the techniques and potential of sheet metal. After being released he became naturalized as a French citizen Following the war, Matégot established a workshop for making handcrafted furniture using a variety of materials such as metal, rattan, glass, formica, and perforated sheet metal. The workshop made chairs, tables, sideboards, desks and other objects that he had designed. At first based in Paris, the workshop later moved to Casablanca All the furniture and other objects had clever, practical and amusing designs. Distributed to decoration shops in editions of 200, his work was extremely successful Signs of wear and areas of rust throughout, the leg of one chair sits slightly off the ground, but all are stable and structurally sound.
