Utrecht armchair (Cassina)

Gerrit Rietveld | 1936

The Utrecht chair is one of Rietveld’s few upholstered chairs that was actually taken into production. The chair, with armrests that merge into the front legs, was sold by Metz & Co. in Amsterdam in 1936. The seat and the backrest come together at an angle to form the back leg. The first edition was covered in dark-brown canvas and was finished with a clearly visible festoon stitch. After the war, Metz & Co. brought the chair back into production, but this time using a felt covering with the same distinctive white stitching.

In 1988, one hundred years after Rietveld’s birth, Cassina Utrecht started producing the chair again. The Cassina Utrecht chair is available in a wide variety of upholsteries.
