Chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918. Relaunched in 1973. Manufactured by Cassina in Italy. A sculptural seat with a pure & rationalist form, this chair became an authentic Manifesto for Neoplasticism, embraced by the Dutch De Stijl movement in 1917. An outlook shared by Piet Mondrian, whose objective was to seek out the essential nature of things, combined with the harmonious equivalence of colours, & the use of right-angle. Rietveld produced his first prototypes in 1918, expressing the philosophy of organising space using the same colours for similar components. This piece is attributed to the above-mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark Red & Blue Lounge Chair By Gerrit Thomas Rietveld Style For Cassina, 1970S, Postmodern Chair, Bauhaus, Modernist, Vintage
