About Gerrit Thomas Rietveld
Gerrit Rietveld (1888–1964) was a Dutch designer and architect associated with De Stijl, known for his radical reduction of form and structure. Trained as a cabinetmaker, he developed furniture based on clear construction and the use of simple, standardized elements.
His designs, including the Red-Blue Chair and Zig-Zag Chair, are built from separate planes and lines, emphasizing structure over ornament. This approach extends into his architecture, most notably the Rietveld Schröder House, where space is defined through the same principles.
