Crafted with respect for Rietveld’s creative core values and original design, which took inspiration from wooden shipping palettes, the HAY Crate Lounge Chair is both modern and functional.
Featuring a low-sloping profile, a gently angled back and supportive armrests all manufactured from solid pinewood, the chair invites you to sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. Treated with an outdoor-resistant lacquer, the Crate Lounge Chair is the perfect addition to your terrace, balcony or patio.
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.
