Nato nel 1921 e formatosi come tornitore di bronzo alla scuola di Arti Applicate École Boulle, Robert Mathieu ha creato alcune delle luci più eccezionali della sua generazione.
Dopo l’urgenza della ricostruzione del dopoguerra, in Francia è sorta un’intera economia legata al settore abitativo, fondata sulla grande tradizione francese della decorazione e del mobile. La nuova generazione uscita dalle "Grandes Ecoles" coglie le opportunità offerte da questo momento, ponendo le basi di quello che oggi chiamiamo Design, ovvero la creazione di beni al servizio della produzione di massa. Robert Mathieu ne è uno dei protagonisti, grazie ai suoi sistemi a doppio pendolo e alla sua infinita creatività e perfetta competenza tecnica, realizzando lampade articolate per illuminare ogni zona dell’appartamento moderno e manipolando il concetto di asimmetria e contro-peso.
Questa prima monografia su Robert Mathieu è il risultato della ricerca di Pascal Cuisinier, che si interessa al Design francese del dopoguerra sin dai primi anni 2000. Esplorando in egual misura sia gli aspetti accademici sia estetici, questo lavoro si propone di presentare il lavoro di Robert Mathieu sia ai neofiti che ai collezionisti più informati, svelando al contempo questo periodo glorioso vissuto dalle arti decorative in Francia durante gli anni Trenta.

Le plus grand créateur de luminaires français, Robert Mathieu, est encore aujourd'hui peu connu du grand public du fait de la rareté de ses pièces sur le marché, très recherché par les collectionneurs spécialisés. Contrairement à un designer traditionnel, Robert Mathieu ne concevait pas seulement ses luminaires, mais il les réalisait, à l'instar d'un artiste, dans son atelier de la rue de Charenton à Paris. Ici pas d'éditeur, mais une production au compte-gouttes proche de celle d'une œuvre d'art, à parfois moins de 8 exemplaires. Ce qui est remarquable chez Robert Mathieu, c'est d'une part sa créativité unique en France, car il a conçu plus de 200 modèles, mais aussi la très grande qualité d'exécution de ses pièces qui sont encore aujourd'hui en parfait état. Cet ouvrage monographique inédit voit le jour après dix ans de préparation. Entre le beau livre d'art et le catalogue raisonné, il présente tous les modèles connus de cet artiste du luminaire, illustrés par des photographies studio et par de la documentation d'époque ou de témoignages photographiques non professionnels, car un grand nombre des créations de Robert Mathieu n'ont encore jamais été vues

The greatest designer of French lighting, Robert Mathieu, is still little known to the general public today due to the rarity of his pieces on the market, highly sought after by specialized collectors. Unlike a traditional designer, Robert Mathieu not only designed his lights, but he made them, like an artist, in his studio on rue de Charenton in Paris. Here there is no publisher, but a dropper production close to that of a work of art, sometimes less than 8 copies. What is remarkable about Robert Mathieu is on the one hand his unique creativity in France, because he has designed more than 200 models, but also the very high quality of execution of his pieces which are still in perfect condition today. state. This unpublished monographic work is born after ten years of preparation. Between the beautiful art book and the catalog raisonné, it presents all the known models of this lighting artist, illustrated by studio photographs and period documentation or non-professional photographic testimonials, because a large number of the creations by Robert Mathieu have never been seen before.
