Year: 1923
Designer: Gerrit Thomas Rietveld
Materials: red, white, blue, yellow and black lacquered wood structure.
Rietveld took the “De Stijl” tenets that Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg tried to apply in painting and transposed them to the three-dimensional. He contributed to an understanding of the spatial dimension of a room as an interior designer, with an instinctive perception that puts all the senses into play. Rietveld used this small, unusually shaped table in one of his greatest interior design projects: the Schroeder house in Utrecht (1924).
