A modernist floor lamp with five folded, perforated metal shades arranged at alternating angles around a slender central stem. The geometric forms create a rhythmic vertical composition, anchored by a triangular metal base.
The perforated surfaces allow light to filter through the shades, bringing depth and texture to the dark metal finish. Combining industrial material with an expressive silhouette, the lamp has a strong architectural presence both illuminated and unlit.
The design recalls the work of Mathieu Matégot (1910–2001), a Hungarian-born designer and artist whose practice encompassed furniture, lighting and tapestry. Working in France, he became known for Rigitulle, his innovative combination of metal tubing and folded, perforated sheet metal. His approach gave industrial materials an unexpected delicacy, creating forms that sit between functional design and sculpture

152cm Height x 40cm base
