Gerrit Rietveld: Zig zag chair
Oak constructed with brass fittings. The 45 degree angle of the zig zag chair’s cantilever can be seen as a response to Theo van Doesburgs’s call in 1924 for the introduction of oblique linesto resolve the tension between vertical and horizontal elements.
This zig zag chair I don’t find very attractive, I feel like the chair would be stronger if it just stopped at the Z and didn’t have the back part of the chair on it. I also think that it would look cooler if the Zig zag chair was made out of metal or a painted plastic.
