About the Item

Vintage De Stijl Movement Dutch Design Pine Crate chair by Gerrit Rietveld. Made in the Netherlands, circa 1960. Solid Pine constructed lounge /arm chair. This chair is a testament to Rietveld's avant-garde approach to furniture design. As a pioneering figure in the De Stijl movement, Rietveld revolutionized the concept of traditional craftsmanship with his radical creations. Constructed from standard lumber size planks, they showcase Rietveld's belief in the inherent strength and durability of packing materials. Despite facing criticism for their departure from conventional workmanship, Rietveld remained true to his dedication to functionality and simplicity. This comes in very good, all original condition, with a nice patina and signs of wear from it's use and age showing minor chipping, scuffs, wear marks, .... This chair measures 62cm x 57cm x 74cm. Seat height: 31cm. Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) was more than a furniture designer: he was an architectural maverick and a leading figure in the Dutch artistic movement De Stijl. His contributions to modern design transcend boundaries, shaping the landscape of 20th-century aesthetics. Rietveld's philosophy emphasized the purity of form and the integration of art into everyday life. Through his innovative use of materials and geometric abstraction, he challenged conventional norms and redefined the essence of design.
