Matégot continued work on tapestry while engaged in other design activities, and a 1962 book La Demeure et les Éditions des deux mondes présentent les tapisseries de Mathieu Matégot documented some of his more important works to that date. In early 1960s, Matégot left furniture design to devote himself full-time to tapestry work, becoming one of leaders of the modern movement in French tapestry. His tapestries today hang in many major buildings.For example, three of his works are in the National Library of Australia. When the building was opened, the “three remarkable tapestries [were] glowing like jewels in the marble-clad foyer”. He was a friend of Jean Lurçat. His work used a restrained range of colors in rigorously abstract designs.[3] Mathieu Matégot died at Angers, France in February 2001.
