RVT

Gerrit Rietveld: "Red Chair"
ORIGINAL VINTAGE CLASSIC

Note: The so-called “Red (or Red-Blue) chair” was designed in 1917-1918. Composed of a modular grid of square or rectangular sticks painted black and with a sustaining seat and back of red and blue rectangular plywood planes, this design enabled each element to maintain its own absolute identity because of the color scheme and the joinery. It was the first executed object to exhibit the artistic principles of de Stijl, and became the movement’s most recognised icon.

condition: fully restored and in outstanding condition
