The designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld was born in 1888 in the Netherlands. Initially, he learned the furniture carpenter occupation in his father’s workshop. Later, he took courses in architectural drawing and opened his own furniture shop in 1911, and in 1919 he settled down in Utrecht as an independent architect. During this time, he made the acquaintance of the De Stijl group of artists, which he joined in 1919. Rietveld became famous with the appearance of his red-blue chair. Furthermore, his international breakthrough came with the Rietveld-Schröder house in Utrecht, a collaboration between the interior designer Truus Schröder-Schader. Rietveld, nonetheless, left a much more comprehensive body of work behind. It includes 215 furniture designs, 232 building plans and 240 designs for other pieces. Thanks to the edition RIETVELD by rietveld, an initiative by Rietveld’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren, some of the designs are being reissued.

The Berlin Chair owes its name to the fact that it was specially made for the Rietveld exhibition room in Berlin. The design from 1923 takes on two new formal elements of Rietveld’s work: the asymmetry and the composition of surfaces.
