Mategot Trolley

Two-tier Trolley

Mathieu Matégot designed the Matégot tea trolley between 1953 and 1954. GUBI's product specification records 1953 and classifies item 10013884 as an indoor trolley.

Trays and Newspaper Holder

The metal trolley has two trays. GUBI states that the lower tray incorporates a bent-metal newspaper holder, while rolling castors provide movement. The specification names metal as the main material and graphite black, RAL 9011, as the storage colour.

Labelled Overall Size

Official drawings label 70.5 cm width × 57.5 cm depth × 72 cm height.

Rigitulle in Motion

GUBI associates the trolley with Matégot's Rigitulle technique, which joins perforated metal and metal tubing. The bent lower newspaper holder demonstrates the flexibility described by the manufacturer. Rolling castors complete the mobile construction named on the page.

1953–54 Design
