20th Century Furniture Designers and Architects

Gerrit Rietveld - Dutch

He studied architecture but was primarily a furniture designer and maker.

He designed furniture that fitted into the new architecture.

He used the cheap simple modular approach.

He was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and a Dutch group called De Stijl, using the theory of using only Primary Colours and the Neutrals.

He designed the Red/Blue chair in 1917-18. It was not comfortable but the techniques and modular approach meant that it could be mass produced.

Red/Blue Chair 1917-18
Schroeder Table 1923
Zig Zag Chair 1934
Utrech Chair 1935
Utrech Sofa 1956
