Red And Blue Chair
Designed by Gerrit T. Rietveld in 1918, the Red and Blue Chair arrived not as furniture but as argument made physical. It emerged from De Stijl, the Dutch movement that proposed reducing all form to geometric essentials and primary relationships, and it remains one of the clearest expressions of that doctrine ever realized in three dimensions.
The construction is deliberate. A framework of solid beech members intersects without merging, each element preserving its own identity within the whole. The flat back panel in lacquered red, the seat in black, the structural members in yellow: color is not applied here as decoration but as a diagram of spatial logic. Every plane announces itself.
Cassina produces the Red and Blue Chair as part of its I Maestri collection, a program dedicated to preserving and faithfully reproducing the foundational works of twentieth-century design. The multilayered lacquer finish and beech construction follow Rietveld's original specifications, ensuring the chair reads today exactly as it was conceived.
