Zigzag Chair with Holes and Short Armrests
Rietveld’s furniture evolved out of experiments with construction and materials. Many of his designs exist in several variants, as with the Zigzag Chair. He created versions with armrests, with holes in the back and with a lower seat, or a combination of these. Sometimes they were produced in more expensive kinds of wood. Rietveld often tried out his prototypes himself before giving them away. He gave this one to his daughter Bep.
