Drawing inspiration from wooden shipping crates, the Crate Low Table is designed to have a balanced proportion and considered manufacturing process that highlights the natural materials used. A square table top sits upon a diagonal crossbar, with a minimal and functional aesthetic, mirroring that of Rietveld’s architectural style.
Crafted from solid pinewood and treated with an outdoor lacquer to ensure durability in the outdoors, the Crate Low Table is an ideal piece for your balcony, terrace 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.
