Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Zellmaker Edition different from the standard Red and Blue Chair?

The Zellmaker Edition was originally commissioned for school teacher Wicher Zeilmaker and features a black lacquered frame, dark green seat and backrest, and white-tipped ends, in contrast to the primary red, blue, and yellow of the most recognized version. It illustrates that Rietveld's chair was always a flexible formal system, not a fixed object.

Who designed the Red and Blue Chair and when?

Gerrit T. Rietveld designed the Red and Blue Chair in 1918. It emerged from his engagement with De Stijl, the Dutch artistic movement that sought to reduce form and color to their essential elements.

How does Cassina's reproduction relate to the original?

Cassina produces the Red and Blue Chair as part of its I Maestri collection, a program dedicated to faithful reproductions of 20th-century masterworks developed in collaboration with the estates and foundations of the original designers.

Is the Red and Blue Chair practical for everyday use?

The chair functions as seating, though its architectural proportions and upright geometry reflect a design philosophy where form and concept take precedence over ergonomic softness. Many owners position it as a focal object within a room, occasionally adding a cushion for extended use.

What is De Stijl and how does it relate to this chair?

De Stijl was a Dutch art and design movement founded in 1917, advocating a visual language reduced to primary colors, horizontal and vertical lines, and geometric form. The Red and Blue Chair is one of its most direct translations into three-dimensional, functional design.
