During the fifties, Matégot designed a series of ( small ) metal furniture and household products for Dutch company Artimeta. This small metal rack is shown in the Artimeta catalogue which contains the original Matégot designs, distributed in 1956 ( with a small difference in the metal wire structure ).
This rack has 2 levels with two removable trays in attractive colour combination yellow and black.

After the second world war, Artimeta was one of the Dutch companies which became succesfull producing small metal furniture and lighting designs in a new, innovative European style. Besides the particular collaboration with Mathieu Matégot the origin for using slender shapes and wire structures for their designs can be found in the work of French and Italian designers.
