		Gerrit Rietveld Biography: Gerrit Rietveldâs materials, methods and forms proved to be deeply influential to many of the mid-century masters of design.
		Rietveld became a part of the De Stijl (the Style) group around 1919 after his "Red/Blue" chair from the preceding year was featured in the magazine and won their favor as one of the icons of the new interior look.
		Rietveld wrote that his aim was that the "work in its entirety must be able to stand freely and brightly on its own two feet, and the form must triumph over the material." Certainly, the sparsely geometric form and the precise color scheme exalt the simple plywood structure.

		By 1934, Rietveld’s search for a reductive simplicity had reached its peak in the Zig-Zag chair, an interpretation of the cantilever principle in wood using bolted triangular joints to maintain rigidity.
		Throughout his career, Rietveld continued to experiment with unusual naturals and techniques, and his designs include a series of armchairs ranging from the single-sheet aluminum chair of 1942 to the UNESCO chair of 1958, entirely upholstered in foam rubber.
		Rietveld drew his inspiration directly from the material, in the manner of a sculptor, rather than drawing up plans at a drawing board.

		In 1918 the Dutch cabinetmaker, Gerrit Rietveld, created an unusual wooden chair, which was very untraditional and hence a true provocation to all previous furniture due to its extremely simplified ideom.
		Furthermore, Rietveld worked as an architect and as such also created a number of radical architectural works, where an innovative and flexible perception of form and space introduced a new way of living.
		The Rietveld Schröder house and the multi-floor building, Erasmuslann 9, are part of the museum, and both are open to the public.

		In the Red Blue Chair, Rietveld manipulated rectilinear volumes and examined the interaction of vertical and horizontal planes, much as he did in his architecture.
		Rietveld believed there was a greater goal for the furniture designer than just physical comfort: the well-being and comfort of the spirit.
		Rietveld and his colleagues in the de Stijl art and architecture movement sought to create a utopia based on a harmonic human-made order, which they believed could renew Europe after the devastating turmoil of World War I. New forms, in their view, were essential to this rebuilding.

		Rietveld never guessed that his "Red Blue Chair" of 1918 would become an icon -- a monument to the audacity of the new artists, architects, and designers of the movement.
		Their collective aim was simple, if not profound: to achieve perfect balance between humanity and society at large, and between society and nature through humanity's physical relationship to its space.

	Gerrit Rietveld's Red and Blue Chair and What I learned about Rest and Motion in Myself
		Rietveld's "Red and Blue" chair is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and it is a chair I love.
		Rietveld was not interested in conventional ideas of comfort (the 19th century armchair that relaxes you so much that you spill your coffee or fall asleep over your book).
		"I am constantly concerned," Rietveld said, "with this extraordinary idea of the awakening of the consciousness." That is why he came to design the most influential chair of the 20th century--and even he was surprised at the big effect his Red and Blue chair had.
