About the Item
Exquisite armchair crafted in metal, made by an unknown cabinetmaker during the 1980s. This rare interpretation of Gerrit Rietveld’s iconic Red and Blue Chair translates the original wooden construction into a striking industrial composition. The chair’s structure, composed entirely of steel, highlights its geometric purity while the surface reveals a beautiful natural patina acquired over time. The visible traces of age and use enhance its sculptural presence, giving it both authenticity and character. A remarkable and uncommon version of one of the most influential designs of the 20th century — bridging art, architecture, and craftsmanship through a minimalist, modernist lens.
