Easy chair RED AND BLUE Black / blue / red / yellow CASSINA

The Red and Blue chair, designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld and published by Cassina, is an iconic piece inspired by the De Stijl art movement, of which painter Piet Mondrian was a leader. The Red and Blue chair embodies purity and rationality, reflecting the principles of neoplasticism. Rietveld sought to explore the essence of shapes and the harmony of colours, favouring the exclusive use of the right angle. The first prototypes, which appeared in 1918, illustrated this vision through a monochromatic palette. Colour differentiation, introduced later, distinguishes elements according to their function, creating a contrast between the black structure and the coloured supporting elements. This change resulted in the chair being renamed from Slat Chair to Red and Blue. The Red and Blue chair edited by Cassina is a timeless piece fuses functionality and aesthetics, paying homage to the artistic legacy of Piet Mondrian and the innovative spirit of the De Stijl movement.
