Library XM2 - Xavier Matégot - FARJON - 1980

XM2 library model designed by Xavier Matégot and published by Farjon, France, 1986. Designed in 1986 by Xavier Matégot, the XM2 library illustrates a resolutely architectural approach to furniture. Its design prominently showcases structural elements, transforming construction techniques into a true aesthetic language. The structure is made of folded steel sheet, with perforated uprights and hollow beams, reinforced by a system of cross-tensioned steel cables. This arrangement ensures perfect stability while giving the whole a remarkable visual lightness. The five glass shelves appear to float within this airy structure, enhancing the balance between transparency, technical precision, and minimalism. At the intersection of industrial design and 1980s minimalism, this library stands out for the purity of its lines and the sophistication of its design, making it a piece that is both functional and sculptural. The whole is presented in good vintage condition, with very slight signs of use consistent with its age. Dimensions: Width: 198 cm. Depth: 44.5 cm. Height: 198 cm.
