GUBI Dédal Shelf Soft Black

Designer: Mathieu Matégot in 1955

Concept: The Dédal shelf finds its inspiration in minimalist design and geometric shapes. The clean lines and the logical assembly of the shelf make it perfectly suitable for many different environments and will undoubtedly attract attention with its use of the technique Rigitulle, which combines perforated metal with metal pipes. It can be combined with several colors that add freshness to the room, or a single color that can make the shelf stand out as a sculptural element.

Mathieu Matégot (1910 - 2001) was an independent and self-taught Hungarian designer, architect and artist. He lived most of his life in his beloved Paris where he settled in 1931, after graduating from the Hungarian University of Art and Design in Budapest. In 1939, Matégot volunteered for the Finnish army, but was captured in Germany until he fled in 1944. The war period played a career-important role for Martégot, as he became acquainted with the innovative material and technique Rigitulle, which today characterizes his style.
