Using only four elements joined with a system known as dovetailing, the Cassina Zig-Zag chair’s visual simplicity disguises a complex construction. Made of natural Cherrywood or Ashwood in a range of playful colourways, its versatile design can serve as a chair or a side table.
Each piece is numbered with an engraved signature and comes with certification to verify its authenticity and is ideally utilised around a dining table, as a standalone sculptural piece or within a commercial environment.
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964) was one of the greatest Dutch architects and furniture designers of all time.
Son of a carpenter, Rietveld was trained as a cabinetmaker before embarking on a career in architecture and joining the ’De Stijl’ Movement, which helped define his progressive style. Rietveld’s most significant furniture pieces include the Red and Blue Chair in 1917, and the Zig Zag Chair designed in 1934.
