Mathieu Mategot Nagasaki Chair for Gubi.
The Nagasaki Chair was designed in 1954 and is still Mathieu Matégot’s best-known piece. It was exhibited for the first time at the 1954 Salon des Artistes Décorateurs.
The Nagasaki chair is made of perforated sheet metal-rigitulle, that characterise Mategot’s work and feature unique details such as little stirrups that hold the seat and legs together.
Both the back rest and seat are curved and arched, similar to the form of a saddle, and the overall effect is one of lightness.
