The iconic Red and Blue armchair is considered one of the most important designs in the history of modern furniture. Created by Dutch designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld and inspired by the principles of the De Stijl movement, this armchair translates art, architecture, and furniture design into a radically reduced form. Its distinctive construction of clean lines and bright colour planes transforms the armchair into a three-dimensional composition of space, colour, and structure. The combination of a black frame, a bright red backrest, and a deep blue seat gives the piece a strong graphic presence—almost like a work of art to live with. The example offered here was produced by Cassina and represents the highest level of craftsmanship. As a licensed edition, it faithfully preserves Rietveld's original concept while combining historic avant-garde design with timeless elegance. Condition report. The lacquer finish shows slight wear in some areas. The seat and frame exhibit signs of normal use. Overall, the armchair is in very good condition and well maintained.
