Red & Blue Chair, Gerrit Rietveld Notebook

Gerrit Rietveld (Utrecht 24 June 1888 - 25 June 1964) learned the craft of furniture making at an early age in his father's traditional furniture workshop. Later, he apprenticed as an architect and came into contact with members of the De Stijl art movement such as Robert van 't Hoff, Bart van der Leck and Theo van Doesburg.

His Red and Blue Chair, Zig-Zag Chair, Crate pieces and Press Room Chair are now true design classics that are impossible to imagine museums and modern interiors without. In the early period, Rietveld designed a lot of furniture based on an inquisitive idea in which construction, form and material play an important part.
