Originally designed in 1934 by Gerrit Rietveld to reuse wood from shipping crates, the Crate Lounge Chair was born from a radical idea of functionality and material optimization. Relaunched today in the Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration, the collection maintains the spirit of the original design, respecting its proportions, structure, and construction logic.
The chair stands out for its essential and transparent construction, designed to reduce production costs and simplify the assembly process. The low proportions, the slightly inclined backrest and seat, along with the supportive armrests, ensure balanced comfort without sacrificing formal purity.
An icon of modern design that combines rationality, sustainability, and timeless aesthetics, perfect for both domestic and public spaces.
