Gerrit Thomas Rietveld – Rietveld Chair 1918 (1984) Vintage poster | Dutch Design | De Stijl This original vintage poster from 1984 celebrates one of the most iconic works of modern design: Gerrit Thomas Rietveld’s Red and Blue Chair (1918). Designed as a radical statement of form, balance, and abstraction, the chair became a cornerstone of the De Stijl movement and a defining symbol of early 20th-century modernism. Rietveld (1888–1964), architect and furniture designer, was a leading advocate of De Stijl, an avant-garde movement that sought to reduce art and design to its essential elements: straight lines, simple geometry, and a strict palette of primary colours combined with black and white. The Red and Blue Chair embodies this philosophy perfectly and is often described as a three-dimensional counterpart to a Piet Mondrian painting. The poster presents the chair in a clean, graphic composition, accompanied by bold typography reading “Rietveld Chair 1918 – Modern Classics – Dutch Design.” Its strong visual impact and balanced layout make it both a design object and a historical document, reflecting the enduring influence of Rietveld’s ideas on modern architecture and furniture design. Produced by Art Unlimited in Amsterdam and published under Gerrit Rietveld / Beeldrecht Amsterdam, this poster was printed in Holland and carries the original copyright line along the edge, confirming its authenticity and period. A highly collectible piece for lovers of modernism, De Stijl, Dutch design, and architectural history, suitable for both private interiors and professional design or art collections. ⸻ Details • Artist: Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) • Title: Rietveld Chair 1918 – Modern Classics – Dutch Design • Creator / Publisher: Art Unlimited | Gerrit Rietveld 1984, c/o Beeldrecht Amsterdam • Object: Vintage poster / affiche • Country of origin: The Netherlands • Design & production period: 1984 • Style: De Stijl, Modernism • Material: Paper • Colours: Red, yellow, blue, black • Dimensions: 60 × 80 cm • Condition: Very good condition • Identifying marks: Copyright line printed along the top left side • Frame: Not included
