Vintage Gerrit Rietveld Red Blue Chair | De Stijl Bauhaus Icon 1918 Design

One of the most iconic objects in the history of design — the Red Blue Chair, originally conceived by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918 and recognised worldwide as a founding masterpiece of the De Stijl movement and modern design as a whole. The construction is deceptively simple: thirteen black-lacquered wooden members assembled without joints or glue, held together purely by bolts — a structure that Rietveld conceived as a three-dimensional realisation of the De Stijl principles of Mondrian and Van Doesburg. The seat is a deep cobalt blue, the backrest a vivid red, the frame black, and the ends of every member are painted yellow — the primary colour palette of the De Stijl movement made physical and functional. The chair exists in virtually every major design museum collection in the world. It has never gone out of production and has never stopped being relevant — a piece of design philosophy you can actually sit in. Width: 65.5 cm. Depth: 83 cm. Height: 88 cm.
