Delve into the geometric brilliance of the Vitra Miniatures Collection Red & Blue Chair, a precise one-sixth scale replica of Gerrit Rietveld’s groundbreaking 1918 design. Originally named “Roodblauwe stoel,” this chair is a testament to Rietveld’s vision of furniture as an ideal composition of lines and planes in space, mirroring the abstract art of Piet Mondrian. Its stark, angular lines and bold use of primary colors exemplify the aesthetic principles of the De Stijl movement, making it a seminal piece in modern furniture design.
Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, this miniature captures the essence of Rietveld’s design philosophy, which simplifies objects to their basic linear and planar elements. The Red & Blue Chair’s iconic structure is not just a design but also a piece of art, paralleling Mondrian’s abstract landscapes. The miniature perfectly reproduces every angle, color, and element of the original, maintaining the integrity and distinctiveness that has influenced countless architects and designers.
A jewel in this collection, the Vitra Miniatures Red & Blue Chair is not only a collector’s item but also serves as an educational resource. Ideal for academic settings, design studios, and architecture practices, it offers a tangible exploration of 20th-century art and design theories. This miniature is a celebration of creativity and a must-have for enthusiasts of design history and modernist principles.
