This modernist umbrella stand, attributed to renowned Franco-Hungarian designer Mathieu Matégot, features four plastic spherical feet, supporting a basket made of patinated brass and an organic, curved perforated metal sheet. The brass frame flows into a crown at the peak of the basket, from which protrudes a brass holder with wooden bamboo end. This is a truly amazing piece, very much rooted in the 1950s but with the ability to sit in any interior due to its versatility.
