Rietveld ZIG ZAG STOEL 1934 Vitra Design Museum Miniature Chair
This chair comes in the original wooden collectors box (with literature) from the Vitra Design Museum. The chair is made on a 1:6 scale. This amazing and highly detailed miniature is an exact copy of the original large version! Each Chair is precisely recreated with the smallest details of construction, material and color. The high standard of authenticity even extends to the natural grain of the wood, the reproduction of screws and the elaborate handicraft techniques involved.
The Zig Zag Stoel is regarded as an admirable synthesis of form, function, and construction. This is one of the best known designs by Rietveld.
Between 1932-34, Rietveld created the classic Zig-Zag Chair. Rietveld's Zig Zag is a minimalistic design without legs, made by 4 flat wooden tiles that are merged in a Z-shape. Four years later Rietveld succeeded in building the first cantilevered chair made with a single sheet of plywood.
The Literature which comes with the chair gives a biography of the designer Gerrit T. Rietveld and the history of the full chair manufacture.
This is a collector’s item for furniture lovers and is valuable as an illustrative model for universities and design schools.
The chair measures 12.3 x 6.2 x 6.5 cm
Comes from a smoke free home.
