Mathieu Matégot, the visionary behind the groundbreaking Rigitulle technique, crafted a tea trolley like no other. Designed between 1953 and 1954, the Matégot Trolley boasts spaciousness and elegance with its dual trays - a vibrant upper tray and a sleek black lower tray. This trolley embodies the perfect balance of flexibility and strength, achieved through its artful bent metal design. With its rolling castors, it glides with a weightless grace, almost defying gravity itself.

Product Information
Description
In the realm of artistic ingenuity, Mathieu Matégot, the virtuoso and originator of the revolutionary Rigitulle technique, orchestrated a masterpiece in the form of a tea trolley. During the transformative period of 1953 to 1954, he breathed life into his creation. Behold the resplendent Matégot Trolley, a realm of boundless space graced with two resolute trays. The upper tray, an orchestra of vibrant hues, offers an exquisite array of colours to behold, while the lower tray emanates an enchanting darkness in timeless black. A testament to the technique's prowess, an artfully bent metal design cradles a newspaper holder, embodying the interplay of flexibility akin to delicate tulle, interwoven with the formidable strength of unyielding metal. Akin to an ethereal apparition, this luminary creation dances upon the floor, effortlessly gliding upon the wings of rolling castors, invoking an ethereal lightness that seems to make it levitate, leaving onlookers in a state of awe and wonder.

Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
