The Gubi Démon shelf — referred to as Biblio-Démon in Mathieu Matégot’s early sketches — was conceived as part of a broader ‘plan d’exécution de la bibliothèque’, a project for a home library and study devised by the designer in the 1950s. Designed in 1954, this modular shelving system reflects Matégot’s innovative vision, transforming everyday functionality into a graphic, light and surprisingly contemporary gesture.
Designed to blend naturally into any setting, the Démon shelf can be configured in a multitude of ways, arranging itself freely along the wall and adding an extra aesthetic dimension to its simple storage function. Its essential, modular and versatile structure allows for the creation of bespoke solutions, perfect for homes of all sizes and for spaces requiring order, rhythm and a touch of character.
Both decorative and functional, the Gubi Démon shelf brings Matégot’s aesthetic to the home: a balance of visual lightness, graphic precision and a modernity that continues to resonate today.
