Gerrit Thomas Rietveld

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect associated with the famous De Stijl movement. He began his career as a cabinetmaker before studying architecture in the 1920s. Rietveld is remembered for his innovative use of simple rectilinear forms, as seen in his iconic Red and Blue Chair (1918) and the Schröder House (1924). His later works include the Utrecht Chair and Sofa series (1935), which feature a more organic approach to modernist design. Rietveld's furniture combines geometric abstraction with functional practicality, reflecting his belief in the integration of art and everyday life.
