This captivating trolley, visible from various angles in the referenced images, embodies Mathieu Mategot's innovative genius. It stands out through the audacious use of Rigitulle, the perforated steel sheet that he magnified and popularized in the 1950s.

A Graphic and Elegant Structure:

The airy frame is crafted from round steel tubes, lacquered in deep black, creating a dramatic contrast with the colored trays. The lines are clean, fluid, and dynamic, reflecting the minimalist and functional aesthetic of mid-century design. The X-shaped cross base ensures stability and visual lightness.

Rigitulle, the Emblematic Material:

The upper tray, a vibrant and sunny mustard yellow, is a perfectly preserved piece of Rigitulle. The characteristic perforations of Rigitulle transform a robust steel sheet into a delicate and textured surface. This tray is slightly curved on the short edges, making it easy to grip for serving.

The lower tray, in white, offers a flat and practical surface for storing bottles, glasses, or decorative objects. It is framed by the black metal structure and rests on a steel grid, creating a play of transparency and pattern.

The Mategot Touch:

The fusion of perforated metal, tubular structure, and vibrant colors creates an inimitable aesthetic. Organic forms and graphic lines combine to create an object that is both utilitarian and sculptural. The handles integrated into the black lacquered tube structure allow for easy maneuvering on its original, still perfectly functional casters.

An Authentic Collector's Item:

This trolley is a perfect representation of the "fifties" style and Mategot's talent for transforming industrial materials into everyday art objects. It retains its charm and functionality, testifying to timeless craftsmanship and vision.

Whether in a modern living room, a retro office, or a vintage dining room, this Mategot-style trolley will bring a touch of elegance and originality, recalling the golden age of French industrial design

Dimensions: Height 67 cm / Width 91 cm / Depth 40 cm

💡The Gallerist's Style Tip: "A true icon of the 50s, this trolley plays the card of transparency and lightness thanks to its Rigitulle. Its vibrant mustard yellow instantly awakens neutral tones. Don't overload its trays: use the upper level to showcase a beautiful glass bud vase or a minimalist catch-all, and the lower level for some beautiful art books or pretty retro bottles. It excels as a visual break in a resolutely modern living room, or as a side table to structure the space with an authentic Mid-Century touch."
