Relaunched as a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration, the Crate Dining Chair combines functionality with contemporary design, promoting a transparent and considered manufacturing process.
The minimal chair design features a gentle sloping back with supportive armrests, reflecting Rietveld’s architectural style. Crafted from solid pinewood, and coated in a water-based lacquer for outdoor use, the Crate Collection elevates your outdoor space.
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.
