Red and Blue Chair.

The Red and Blue chair is a chair designed in 1917 by Gerrit Rietveld. it represents one of the first explorations by the De Stijl art movement in three dimensions. 

The Chair was constructed of u stained beech wood the chair was also not painted until the early 1920's. Rietveld built another new model using thinner wood and painted it all black but painted areas of primary colours to represent the De Stijl movement. 

The De Stijl movement was founded in 1917 and its members believed in pure abstraction by reducing pieces to their essential forms and pure colours. some furniture was simplified to horizontal and vertical lines and they used only the primary colours with black and white..
