One of a Kind Miniature Stylized Oil Rig Made of Wood Painted in De Stijl Colors

About the Item

Model six pile off-shore production platform This do-it-yourself set consisting of an oil rig, a ship with cargo and a helicopter truly is a unique piece. It was commissioned by Dutch architecture firm Van Harmelen & Van der Toorn Boortoren Vrijthoff who had the set manufactured in the typical primary colors of De Stijl. The manufacturer was made by De Giessen Interieurbouw Hardinxveld. The original box (in a decent condition although a bit scratched by felt pens) is included. It contains all the loose parts, allowing you to build everything the way you like. You may use the hoisting crane to transport the cargo up onto the oil rig. The dimensions indicated below are valid for the oil rug plus the helicopter. The ship is not included in these. Its dimensions are 17 cm long (6.7 inch), 5 cm wide (2 inch) and 6 cm high (2.4 inch).

It also ticks the boxes of the norm of good art according to the influential international group of artists De Stijl to which Rietveld belonged: 'Good art is square and angular.' The Rietveld wheelbarrow...
