Vintage Gerrit Rietveld Red and Blue Chair
Vintage Gerrit Rietveld (Dutch 1888 - 1964) red and blue chair stands as a testament to timeless design, transcending nearly a century to retain its status as a modernist icon. Conceived by one of Holland's most influential architects and designers, Gerrit Rietveld, this chair is more than a piece of furniture; it is a piece of history. It's geometry composition, a harmonious blend of straight lines and primary colours, echoes the De Stijl art movement’s principles, emphasising simplicity and abstraction. Produced under licence by Cassina, this particular model hails from the 1970s and 1980s, yet it continues to exude the avant-garde spirit of its 1918 origins. The chair’s red and blue palette, set against a frame of stark black lines, offers not just a seat but an invitation to appreciate the intersection of art and functionality.
