Frequently Asked Questions

When did Rietveld design the Utrecht Armchair?

Rietveld designed the Utrecht Armchair in 1935 as a commission for Metz & Co., the Amsterdam department store known for championing modern design. It represented a significant shift from his earlier, more geometric work toward softer, more enveloping forms.

How does the Utrecht differ from Rietveld's Red and Blue Chair?

The Red and Blue Chair (1917) is a study in planar geometry and De Stijl ideology, prioritizing structure and visual clarity over comfort. The Utrecht moves in the opposite direction, wrapping the occupant in broad upholstered planes, placing human proportion and ease at the center of the design.

What materials are used in the Cassina Utrecht frame?

The internal frame is constructed from poplar plywood and solid fir, with the characteristic wide armrests formed from solid poplar. Cushioning is built from polyurethane foam and polyester fiber padding beneath non-removable upholstery.

Is the Utrecht Armchair available in custom upholstery?

Yes. The chair is made to order and available across Cassina's textile and leather program, allowing specification of fabric weight, color, and finish to suit a given interior.

Why is the upholstery on the Utrecht non-removable?

The non-removable upholstery is a deliberate design and manufacturing choice that preserves the sculptural coherence of the form. Rietveld conceived the chair as a unified object, and Cassina's production honors that intent by integrating the textile fully into the structure.
