Gerrit Rietveld
From his first design masterpiece, the Red-Blue Chair, to his final design for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld created a significant body of work and left a remarkable legacy. His unconventional approach and extraordinary furniture, hailed by Theo van Doesburg as 'the new sculpture', inspired many of his contemporaries just as it continues to incite today's designers : he has been cited as a source of inspiration by designers ranging from Verner Pantos to Konstantin Grcic.
This detailed yet accessible monograph is richly illustrated with photographs, drawings and sketches of both Rietveld's furniture design and his architectural projects. Following Rietveld .from his humble beginnings as a cabinet-maker to his final years as a world-renowned architect, this book contains both his lesser-known work and his most celebrated. One chapter focuses exclusively on the Schröder House of 1924, which is among the very few twentieth-century buildings to be accorded UNESCO World Heritage Monument status.
