The Multi-Lite Collection comes in seven different colours including brass, black/brass, white/brass, blue/brass, all chrome, black/chrome and white/chrome.
MATEGOT lounge table designed by Mathieu Mategot, 1960
The Mategot lounge table has broken away from Mathieu Mategot’s signature style of colour and playful aesthetics, and instead reflects elegance and luxury.

Available in clear or smoked glass, the Mategot lounge table adds instant luxury to any contemporary home.
SATELLITE pendant designed by Mathieu Mategot, 1953
The name, Satellite, was given by Matégot as a wink and tribute to the scientific progress in France in the years after the Second World War.The Satellite Collection is a unique piece due to being made of Rigitulle – a technique and material that makes it possible to bend and fold the material to an original, oblong shape. By using two pendant lamps with geometric shapes and covering the bulb with perforated metal, Mategot has interplayed light and shadow to exude a festive atmospheric light. The pendant lamp comes in the colours midnight black, white cloud, venetian gold, rainy grey and shy cherry.

The contrasting solid table top to the slender metal base has strong references to the building’s architecture and the materials were found on the site.

MOON table designed by Space Copenhagen, 2015
