Black Red And Blue Chair - Zellmaker Edition
Gerrit T. Rietveld conceived the Red and Blue Chair in 1918 as a three-dimensional proposition, translating De Stijl's compositional principles into a functional object. The chair was never a single canonical form. Rietveld produced numerous variations over the years, each adapted to a specific client, interior, or moment in his thinking.
The Zellmaker Edition traces its origins to a commission for school teacher Wicher Zeilmaker. A black frame, dark green seat and backrest, and white-tipped ends distinguish it entirely from the familiar primary-color version, revealing how personal and site-specific Rietveld's practice could be. Color, here, is not decoration. It is structure made visible.
- Black lacquered beech frame with white-tipped ends
- Dark green seat and backrest panels
- Faithful reproduction of the original Zeilmaker commission
- Produced by Cassina under the I Maestri collection
Early recipients of Rietveld's chairs often treated them as abstract sculpture, objects of contemplation as much as seating. The Zellmaker Edition carries that same quality, a work that rewards close attention and holds its presence in any considered interior.
