Gerrit Rietveld

Gerrit Rietveld was a furniture designer and architect, born in Utrecht in 1988. He became a member of the 'de stijl" movement and that very same year became an architect. His most famous art work consists of the 'Red and Blue chair' and the 'Rietveld Shroder house'.

I personally find his work vert aesthetically pleasing, the words smooth and calculated come to mind when looking at his work. He worked very systematically and his use of ergonomics and mathematics helped him to create these magnificent pieces of furniture and architecture.

Heres are the two pieces of work that were listed earlier.
