Everything about Gerrit Rietveld totally explained
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (
June 24,
1888–
June 26,
1964) was a
Dutch furniture designer and
architect.
In
1911, Rietveld started his own furniture factory, while studying architecture. Rietveld designed the
Red and Blue Chair in
1917, but changed its colours to the familiar style in
1918 after he became influenced by the '
De Stijl' movement, of which he became a member in
1919, the same year in which he became an architect. In
1924 he designed the
Rietveld Schröder House for
Truus Schröder-Schräder, with whom he cooperated. The house, while guided by geometric forms, is asymmetrical. The house in Utrecht is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
Rietveld broke with the 'De Stijl' movement in
1928 and switched to the
Nieuwe Zakelijkheid. The same year he joined the
Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne.
He designed the "Zig-Zag" chair in
1932 and started the design of the
Van Gogh Museum in
Amsterdam.
