Red and Blue Chair

Red and Blue Chair

"The Red Blue Chair" was a chair designed in 1917 by Gerrit Rietveld. It represents one of the first explorations by the De Stijl art movement in three dimensions. The original chair was not painted in the familiar De Stijl palette of primary colours, black, grey and white. However, it was later changed to resemble the paintings of Piet Mondrian when Rietveld came into contact with this artist's work in 1918. Rietveld joined the De Stijl movement in 1919. The chair currently resides in the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA). It features several Rietveld joints.

TU Delft Fire

The Red and Blue Chair is reported to be on loan to the Delft University of Technology Faculty of Architecture as part of an exhibition. On May 13, 2008, a fire destroyed the entire building. Preliminary reports indicate that the Red and Blue Chair was saved by firefighters. [ [http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2008/05/minister_visits_scene_of_delft.php TU Delft fire news story] ]
