RED BLUE CHAIR YEAR: 1918 DESIGNER: GERRIT RIETVELD Material: painted wood Dimensions: 86.7 x 66 cm x 83.8 cm x 33 cm (h) In the Red Blue Chair, Rietveld manipulated rectilinear volumes and examined the interaction of vertical and horizontal planes, much as he did in his architecture. Although the chair was originally designed in 1918, its color scheme of primary colors (red, yellow, blue) plus black—so closely associated with the de Stijl group and its most famous theorist and practitioner Piet Mondrian—was applied to it around 1923. Hoping that much of his furniture would eventually be mass-produced rather than handcrafted, Rietveld aimed for simplicity in construction. The pieces of wood that comprise the Red Blue Chair are in the standard lumber sizes readily available at the time. http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=4044 Hoge stoel high back chair YEAR: 1919 DESIGNER: GERRIT RIETVELD Material: painted wood Dimensions: 91.4 x 64.8 x 61cm The "Hoge stoel" appeared in print for the first time in the Dutch journal, "de Stijl," no. 12, 1920 as part of a decor designed by Theo van Doesburg in 1919. The same chair was later placed by Rietveld in a clinic at Maarssen (1920), but without the two original side panels. This particular model was said to have been shown at the seminal Bauhaus exhibitions of 1923, but most scholars today believe that though it had been promised for the show it was never sent. In any case, there are many analogies which may be drawn between de Stijl philosophies and the basic tenets of the Bauhaus movement. The chair's form has many affinities with Russian Constructivism also, characterized by planar elements seemingly floating in space. http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/97011/hogestoel-highback-chairgallery-label-current Schroeder end table YEAR: 1923 DESIGNER: GERRIT RIETVELD Material: painted wood Dimensions:60 x 51.8 x 50.2 cm The End Table comprised of a blue square top and red circular base and were connected by a black and a white rectangle. It was designed for the Schroder House in Utrech. It was made of simple components and was an open form.
