Satellite Floor Lamp, Outdoor
Design by Mathieu MatégotBuilding on the Satellite Collection of whimsical, modernist sculptural lamps, the Satellite Outdoor Pendant and Satellite Outdoor Floor Lamp are GUBI’s first lighting designs created specifically for outdoor use. Based on Mathieu Matégot’s original design concept from 1953, the designs feature an ovoid shade crafted from a perforated sheet of stainless steel, topped with an aluminum cap that helps direct the light. Playful and modern even 70 years after their first creation, both Satellite designs are ideal for installation on covered patios, verandas, or other sheltered dining areas. Two sizes of pendant are available, and both the pendants and the floor lamp are available with a semi-matt shade in either Cream White or Mustard Gold.

MATHIEU MATÉGOT
Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) was a versatile, independent, and self-taught Hungarian designer, architect and artist. He spent most of his life in his beloved Paris, where he settled in 1931 after traveling to Italy and the United States, studying at Budapest’s School of Art and Architecture, and gaining experience in set design, window dressing, fashion, and tapestry. In 1939, Matégot volunteered for the French army but was captured and held prisoner in Germany until his escape in 1944. Matégot’s wartime captivity was important to his later career, as it was here that he first learned about the techniques and potential of sheet metal while working in a mechanical accessories plant.
