Creator, entrepreneur and decorator, Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) showed a great productivity during four decades, playing with material, shape and colour in his furniture creations, from 1945 to 1959, as well as in tapestry, in which he began to be interested from 1939 and that he practised until the 1980s. He invented two media, "Rigitulle", a perforated sheet, and "férotin", alliance between metal and rattan.
He promoted his creations by developing his own firm through which he distributed his furniture abroad and executed numerous public and private orders, including a part of the Champs-Elysées Drugstore in Paris, an airfield in Casablanca or tapestries for Air France and the French consulate in New York.
Through numerous period documents, notably family archives, this monograph studies Matégot artistic and business career in its whole.
