Materials: fabric dimensions: d 85 cm x w 64 cm x h 60 cm (sh 37 cm) gerrit t. Rietveld came up with the design for the utrecht armchair in 1935 while working for the metz & co. Department store in amsterdam, where his brief was to make a chair for serial production. Taking market needs into account, while privileging a comfortable and relaxing experience, led to the elements of the chair being treated as separate units. As a consequence, the chair became an icon of both the neoplastic movement, and of rietveld’s experimental vision. The chair is also available in fabric or leather, with blanket or zig-zag top-stitching, in both cases in five colors.
