The Satellite wall lamp by GUBI is based on Mathieu Matégot’s design from 1953. Its two lantern-like shades are an application of Rigitulle, a technique and material invented by the French designer himself: a sheet of metal is bent and folded to form an oblong shape. The perforated and pleated metal shades create an illusion of soft fabric and filter light in a pleasant, festive manner. The long metal arms give the wall lamp an airy, distinct look.

Designer
After studying at Budapest's School of Fine Arts in Budapest, Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) created scenery and tapestries for the National Theatre. He settled in France in 1931 and as a volunteer in the French army, was captured and not released until 1944. After returning home, he started producing handmade furniture in Paris. For a decade Matégot created various design classics but at the beginning of the 60’s changed course to focus on the design of tapestries, for which he won international acclaim.
