MEESTER RIETVELD

This design is a homage to Gerrit Rietveld’s Zig Zag chair, originally created between 1930 and 1934. The iconic chair is a minimalistic construction without legs, composed of four flat wooden panels joined in a Z-shape with dovetail joints and bolts or screws.

In my reinterpretation, the four panels are replaced by a single 8 mm steel sheet, which is bent into shape. The backrest is extended and accentuated with a decorative zigzag pattern.
