Rietveld treated the individual elements of the chair almost as separate units, creating a sculptural composition that remains visually striking from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike some of Rietveld's earlier, more rigid furniture designs, the Utrecht was conceived with comfort in mind. Its tubular steel structure incorporates elastic webbing beneath the seat and back, while polyurethane foam and polyester batting provide the cushioning. The gray textile upholstery gives the otherwise strongly defined form a softer appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA leading figure of the De Stijl movement, Rietveld is best known for works including the Red and Blue Chair, Zig Zag Chair, and the Rietveld Schröder House. The Utrecht represents another side of his work, combining his geometric approach with a more generous and comfortable form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCassina acquired exclusive production rights to the Utrecht in 1988, and the chair has since formed part of the Cassina I Maestri collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, 1935\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally designed for Metz \u0026amp; Co., Amsterdam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufactured by Cassina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCassina I Maestri Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContemporary production\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGray textile upholstery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTubular steel frame with elastic webbing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePolyurethane foam and polyester batting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: 25.2 in (64 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepth: 33.5 in (85 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 27.6 in (70 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeat height: approx. 15 in (38 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood pre-owned condition with minor signs of wear consistent with normal use.
