637 UTRECHT ARMCHAIR
Gerrit T. Rietveld came up with the design for the Utrecht armchair in 1935 while working for the Metz & Co. department store in Amsterdam, where his brief was to make a chair for serial production. Taking market needs into account, while privileging a comfortable and relaxing experience, led to the elements of the chair being treated as separate units. As a consequence, the chair became an icon of both the Neoplastic movement, and of Rietveld’s experimental vision.
The chair is also available in fabric or leather, with blanket or zig-zag top-stitching, in both cases in five colours.
Structure
· Main frame seat and backrest in steel rod with elastic bands. Massive poplar wood armrests.
Padding
· Polyurethane foam in different density.
· Polyester padding with resin along with light velvet.
Quilted upholstery
· Quilted fabric or quilted leather.
· Foot in black plastic material.
A contrasting stitching, emphasizies the geometry of the armrest:
1. Blanket Stitch (natural, black, light blue, yellow, red).
2. Zig Zag Stitching (natural, black, light blue, yellow, red)
