About The Item

Created in the 1950s by the Hungarian-born French master of postwar design, Mathieu Mategot, the Tropique Collection of outdoor furniture captures the timeless glamour and exotic luxury of outdoor living on the Cote d'Azur in the mid-20th century. Combining material simplicity with a decadent aesthetic, Tropique comprises two dining chairs and a dining table. The frame of each piece is made from stainless steel rods, incorporating a distinctive statement curve at the feet - a signature of Mategot's style and a feature that unites the collection into a clear and cohesive whole. To give his furniture a balance of strength, durability, and apparent weightlessness, Mategot frequently turned to perforated metal as a material choice, resulting in lightweight, transparent surfaces. To create the Tropique Dining Table, a stainless steel sheet is pressed and welded onto the frame, providing a solid, functional surface that allows sunlight to pass through.
