Zigzag Chair by Gerrit Rietveld

Picture
Designers: Gerrit Thomas Rietveld.
Date: 1934.
Manufacturer: formerly Metz & Co., Amsterdam, Now Cassina S.p.A.
Story or Purpose: Originally designed for the Shroder House in Utrecht, Holland.
Inspiration: The posture of a person sitting.

What we Like: It looks so simple but yet its construction is very complicated. its cantilevered shape gives the perception that it will fall under any weight.
