Pair of Vintage Chair with Wooden Frame Rietveld's Utrecht 1960s

Utrecht chair, Gerrit Rietveld, architect edition 1960s, wenge frame, upholstery. Gerrit 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 (aka De Stijl), and of Rietveld’s experimental vision. Price for the pair. W 72 cm, D 86 cm, H 78 cm, SH 34 cm
