year 1927
material wood
source title the complete rietveld furniture
info The frame of the chair is an intricate-looking construction of wooden rails joined by dowel and sockets. In fact, Rietveld made two separate frames here—one for the right and one for the left. They are joined by a thin sheet of plywood screwed onto both frames. By extending the plywood in front and allowing it to curve back again, he created a very powerful construction that acts as a crossbar. Rietveld donated this chair to the SMA in 1950.
