Gerrit Thomas Rietveld for Cassina

Utrecht, Black Modernist Armchair with Contrasting Stitching

Italy, 1988

ACH 114

Description

Height: 26.5" - Width: 25" - Depth: 33" - Seat height: 14"

Upholstery, wood

Building on his earlier, iconic designs - the 1920s De stijl Red Blue chair and his Zig Zag chair from the 1930s - Rietveld designed the Utrecht chair with an added degree of comfort. The Italian firm Cassina issued this chair on the centenary of Rietveld's birth in 1988. Like the original, this club chair is upholstered in black canvas and blanket-stitched in yellow, highlighting the angles and rationalist lines of this Modernist masterwork.
