Dimensions: Height: 29.53 in (75 cm)Width: 14.77 in (37.5 cm)Depth: 17.52 in (44.5 cm)Seat Height: 16.93 in (43 cm)
The Zig Zag was designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1932 - 1934. Rietveld managed to design a perfectly stable chair which at the time must have looked dangerously fragile - a cantilevered seat without any stretchers to support the frame. It had never been done before. Rietveld himself called it ''the little zigzag'' and often referred to it as being an architectural joke. He also called it a ''shot into space'', which may refer to the zigzag shape ending in the line of the backrest straight up into the skies. Or that it is in the shape of a bolt of lightning. Both apply!
The Zig Zag is a very elegant and modest piece, quite small but just big enough and it has such a presence and aesthetic quality looked at from any angle. It's a work of art in itself. In case one doesn't want to use it as an actual seat, it's also very stylish and chique when used as a display for a sculpture or a vase.
