Geometric Wall Shelf
Mathieu Matégot designed the Dédal Shelf in 1955. GUBI describes a graphic shelf that can be juxtaposed with other units to form a larger geometric pattern.
Rigitulle Construction
The official text identifies metal tubing and perforated metal sheet as the paired materials behind the design. Item 10011212 is the Cream White Semi Matt version. Its product table names metal as the main material and Cream, RAL 9001, as the selected storage colour.
Labelled Dimensions
The official drawings label 89 cm width × 19.5 cm depth × 48.5 cm height.
Story
One Unit, Multiple Compositions
Dédal is shaped as an offset open shelf. GUBI explains that matching units can be grouped on several levels, allowing the repeated outline to produce a new geometric composition. Each stored dimension refers to one shelf unit.
A 1955 Matégot Design
The page and product-specific table both date the shelf to 1955. GUBI connects it to Matégot's pairing of metal tubing and perforated sheet.
