Iconic Red and Blue Armchair by Gerrit Rietvald
Rietveld's 'Red & Blue' is a sculptural seat with a pure and rationalist form and is often counted among the leading examples of Neoplasticism promoted by the Dutch De Stijl movement. Designed by Rietveld in 1918, the chair reflects the artist's will to organise space using the same colours for similar components, which is mirrored in the employment of a black base and a coloured seat in shades of black and blue. There is no makers mark on this piece but was purchased on dibs a number of years ago and has all the signs of authenticity.
Dimensions - 25.88ʺW × 32ʺD × 34.5ʺH
Condition Details - Well used vintage condition with some fading throughout. The chair has some wear with scratches, scuffs, and dings. The chair has been in storage for years and does have general dirtiness. The right arm of chair is loose and needs re-glued. Perfectly functional as is but can be restored to make it really shine. Please see photos for full condition details.
