The Dutchman Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) was one of the most important designers and architects of the 20th century. Trained as a cabinetmaker, he became associated early on with de Stijl, the movement centred around Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian, and created two world-famous icons: the Red Blue Chair (1918\/1923) and the Schröder House (1924). His primary artistic goal was to find new forms of expression for planes, lines and volumes. Until the end of the 1930s, Rietveld experimented with a wide variety of materials such as laminated wood and aluminium, using them to create ever new and surprising furniture variations, including the legendary Zig-Zag Chair (1932). After 1945 Rietveld was mainly active as an architect, designing such prestigious buildings as the Dutch Pavilion on the grounds of the Venice Biennale.  <\/span>The exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum is the first major retrospective on Gerrit Rietveld to be presented to the German-speaking public in a long time. It offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre and includes comparative works by contemporaries such as Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer. <\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
