Mathieu MatĂ©got reached his creative peak in the 1950s, with such powerful pieces as his famous Nagasaki chair. The Biblio-DĂ©mon collection of bookshelves belongs to this same fertile period, during which Matthieu MatĂ©got enjoyed working with metal, which he generally used as the dominant architectural element. The Biblio-DĂ©mon, for example, is visually dominated by its powerful black vertical metal uprights, which serve as the collection's signature.Â

Mathieu Matégot
Mathieu Matégot (1910 - 2001) is one of the most famous French designers of the 50s.
He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Budapest. He then visited Italy then the United States and decided to settle in France.
In 1933, he began designing furniture with the use of rattan and metal. However, as the war was raging he decided to enroll and was later taken prisoner. After the Liberation, he devoted himself to creating objects in transparent metal and opened his own studio in Paris and Casablanca.
He showed his work in 1952 at the Salon des Artistes DĂ©corateurs. He rapidly became a global success. He particularly influenced the world of design with his avant-garde approach to forms and materials.
