Gerrit Rietveld: Aluminium chair
Pressed and stamped aluminium contruction. This chair was probably inspired by military aircraft seats. Constructed from a bent, single sheet of stamped aluminium, the design pushed the materials technical and aesthetic limits further than ever before.
I think that is chair looks very cold, and unfriendly. I do however like the holes that are in the chair, I don’t understand the point of them as with most of the others but I like them. I don’t like the sharp edges of the chair, although they contrast the holes.
