Rare Chair with Lacquered Plywood by Gerrit Jr. Rietveld, 1954
About the Item
This rare chair, designed by Gerrit Rietveld Jr., seamlessly blends modernist functionality with innovative details. Featuring a yellow painted plywood seat and backrest supported by minimalist metal legs, it is both practical and visually striking. The three circular cut-outs in the backrest serve as a convenient handle for moving the chair, reflecting Gerrit Jr.’s ingenuity while nodding to his father, Gerrit Rietveld Sr., who often prioritized practicality in his designs. Gerrit Rietveld Jr. (1927–1981), trained at *Atelier Van de Groenekan*, where his father’s iconic works were crafted, developed a deep understanding of materials and construction. While influenced by his father’s geometric simplicity, Gerrit Jr. charted his own path, experimenting with modern materials and addressing the needs of mid-20th-century living. This chair is a rare and collectible example of his work, showcasing the Rietveld family’s enduring impact on modern design.
