Red & Blue Armchair - Multicolour

The Red & Blue Armchair features a sculptural, rationalist form originally designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918 as an expression of Neoplasticism and the De Stijl movement. Its construction uses a black base paired with a coloured seat in shades of black and blue, with each colour applied consistently across similar structural components. The geometric frame combines straight lines and flat planes, reflecting an approach to organising space through form and colour rather than ornamentation.

Gerrit Rietveld's 'Red & Blue' is a sculptural seat with a pure and rationalist form, and is often counted among the leading examples of Neoplasticism promoted by the Dutch De Stijl movement. Designed by Rietveld in 1918, the chair reflects the artist's will to organise space using the same colours for similar components, which is mirrored in the employment of a black base and a coloured seat in shades of black and blue.
