Hoeksteen Pew by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, 1963

About the Item

This pew, designed in 1963 for the *Hoeksteen Church* in Uithoorn, represents Gerrit Rietveld’s final design and a significant milestone in modern design history. Crafted from Parana pine and painted steel, it reflects Rietveld’s principles of simplicity, functionality, and innovative material use. The clean lines and geometric clarity echo his De Stijl movement contributions, emphasizing abstraction and harmony between form and function. Rietveld (1888–1964), renowned for iconic works like the *Red and Blue Chair* and the *Rietveld Schröder House*, redefined modern design with his focus on affordability and industrial materials. Created for Aldo van Eyck’s *Hoeksteen Church*, the pew balances the warmth of wood with the cool industrial feel of steel, embodying Rietveld’s late-career refinement. This piece stands as both a functional object and a testament to Rietveld’s enduring legacy in modernism. Additional information: Material: Parana pine, painted steel Dimension: 79 x 217 x 61 cm
