Description
MATHIEU MATEGOT (1910–2001) Mathieu Mategot Philippe Jousse & Caroline Mondineu Paris, Jousse Entreprise Éditions, 2003. Texts: Philippe Jousse & Caroline Mondineu. 256 pages. Bilingual French/English edition. Paperback with dust jacket. Dimensions: 12 × 26.1 cm. ISBN: 2-9518449-1-3. Condition: Very good overall condition. A very well-preserved copy, with its dust jacket in very good condition. An important reference work devoted to the work of Mathieu Matégot, a leading figure in post-war French design. Published by Jousse Entreprise and edited by Philippe Jousse and Caroline Mondineu, this richly illustrated volume traces the richness and diversity of Matégot’s output and documents over 240 designs: furniture, chairs, tables, lighting and objects. Significant attention is given to Matégot’s innovative research into perforated metal and Rigitulle, a material he developed and used to give his creations their characteristic lightness and graphic identity. The book presents numerous designs that have become iconic examples of French design from the 1950s, including Nagasaki, Copacabana, Kangourou, Satellite, Bagdad, Java, Kyoto, Santiago, Soumba, Cap d’Ail and Férotin. Richly illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs, as well as archival documents, this book is now an essential bibliographical reference for the work of Mathieu Matégot, regularly cited in auction catalogues and specialist publications devoted to 20th-century design.
