About the Item
One-of-a-kind sculptural chair, circa 1980s, made out of black-stained wood with a striking architectural presence. Built from cylindrical uprights and crossbars, the design celebrates pure structure: a graphic, almost linear composition where every connection becomes a detail. With its radical simplicity and honest construction, this piece is in the taste of Gerrit Rietveld—evoking the De Stijl spirit through strong geometry, balanced proportions, and a functional, no-nonsense silhouette. The contrasting exposed end-grain at the joints adds a subtle rhythm and highlights the chair’s hand-made, studio character. A rare statement chair that works beautifully as an accent piece in a living space, hallway, or gallery-like interior—equally compelling from every angle.
