Created in the 1950s by designer Mathieu Matégot, the mobilier Outdoor Tropique collection captures the timeless elegance and exotic luxury of outdoor living on the French Riviera in the mid-20th century. More than 50 years on, Gubi pays tribute to Mathieu Matégot with the reissue of one of his most famous collections. Developed shortly after his return from the Second World War, Tropique was one of his key collections that helped Mathieu Matégot establish his reputation as a designer. Out of production for decades, the Tropique collection is reborn for the 21st century, giving a new generation the chance to live « la dolce vita » as imagined by Mathieu Matégot. Combining material simplicity with a decadent aesthetic, the Tropique collection includes two small dining chairs and a table. The structure of each piece is made from stainless steel tubing, with a distinctive curve at the legs that unites the collection into a coherent whole. The table Tropique features a perforated metal top, a material very often used by the designer because it is easy to work with and creates a light, transparent surface. This means that the top of the Tropique table is resistant while still allowing light to pass through.
