Folded metal vintage wastepaper basket by Mathieu Mategot

Black metal wastepaper basket by Mathieu Matégot, first original edition by Artimeta, Netherlands, 1950s. Designed in Mathieu Matégot's time, the Matégot wastepaper basket is proof of his success in transforming perforated sheeting into a refined and elegant material in which design, art and engineering are perfectly combined. This distinctive metal has been christened Rigitulle, and its pleating and airy grace contribute to its true sculpture. The wastepaper basket has the wear and tear of use and age but also a great patina.
