Cassina Red and Blue Chair

Designed by Gerrit Rietveld for Cassina in 1917, the Red and Blue Chair is one of the most influential objects in design history — a three-dimensional manifesto of De Stijl, built from standardised timber elements and painted in the movement's primary colours. As resolved as a piece of sculpture, as uncompromising as the ideology behind it.
