Red and Blue Armchair by Gerit Rietveld for Cassina
Designed 1918, reissued by Cassina in 1973. Seat and backrest in birch plywood with edges and top in beech veneer, solid beech structure. Numbered 3431.
A piece of furniture reduced down to a distinctive linear wooden frame painted black, with yellow detailing for the ends of each piece of timber, while a blue plank forms the seat and a red one provides a high back. These planks appear to float upon the frame in a disconnected way, while all the joints and tectonic elements of the chair are hidden. Here, magical abstraction, artistic form and bold colours are everything, like a painting turned into a piece of furniture.
— Modernist Design Complete by Dominic Bradbury
Dimensions: 34.7”H x 25.7”W x 32.7"D
Condition: Great vintage condition
Available for pickup in Chicago.
