Cassina offers a new reinterpretation of the iconic model dated 1935: an anthropometric response to the increasing sizes of modern generations. Armchair with main frame, seat and backrest in poplar plywood and fir solid wood. Massive poplar wood armrests. Polyurethane foam and polyester padding. Not removable upholstery: fabric or leather with blanket fine stitching in natural colour. Feet in black plastic material.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, born in Utrecht on 24 June 1888, seems possessed of two personalities, each so distinct that one might take his work to be that of more than one artist. The first personality is that seen in the craftsman cabinet-maker working in a primordial idiom, re-inventing chairs and other furniture as if no one had ever built them before him and following a structural code all of his own; the second is that of the architect working with elegant formulas, determined to drive home the rationalist and neoplastic message in the context of European architecture. The two activities alternate, overlap, and fuse in a perfect osmosis unfolding then into a logical sequence.

The juxtaposition of right angles ‒ backrest and seat that meet at the floor and armrests that morph into support pieces ‒ are hallmark features of the Utrecht armchair, which became a symbol of the Neoplastic movement.
