Pair Of Gerrit Rietveld 'Red And Blue Chair' Modern Reproduction
A sculptural seat with a pure and rationalist form, this chair became an authentic Manifesto for Neoplasticism, embraced by the Dutch De Stijl movement in 1917. An outlook shared by Piet Mondrian, whose objective was to seek out the essential nature of things, combined with the harmonious equivalence of colours, and the use of right angle. Rietveld produced his first prototypes in 1918, expressing the philosophy of organising space using the same colours for similar components. Around 1923 he removed the side panels and added the colours red, blue, yellow, and black. As a consequence, the name of the piece changed, from Slat Chair to Red and Blue.
Please note that this pair is not an original 1923 production. The production of the 'Red and Blue Chair' was licensed to Cassina in 1973, who have been producing them since.
Dimensions
W: 65cm D: 83cm H: 88cm
Seat Height: 33cm
Condition
Very good condition. Structurally solid and sturdy. Only one small mark to the lacquer on one of the seat, and a slight lifting of the lacquer on the same seat (all as pictured). Otherwise in near perfect.
