Utrecht XL Armchair - Lincoln Vinaccia 13L576 - des. Gerrit Thomas Rietveld - by Cassina
Gerrit Rietveld came up with the design for the Utrecht armchair in 1935 while working for the Metz & Co. department store in Amsterdam, where his brief was to make a chair for serial production. Taking market needs into account, while privileging a comfortable and relaxing experience, led to the elements of the chair being treated as separate units. As a consequence, the chair became an icon of both the Neoplastic movement, and of Rietveld’s experimental vision.
This version hasn’t the numbering and the identifying mark. Cassina offers a new reinterpretation of the iconic model dated 1935: an anthropometric response to the increasing sizes of modern generations.
- Main frame seat and backrest in steel rod with elastic bands.
- Massive poplar wood armrests.
- Padding is polyurethane foam.
- Polyester padding with resin along with light velvet.
- Quilted fabric upholstery
- Foot is made from black plastic.
Stitchwork: Cucitura punto cavallo (natural thread colour)
Upholstery: Lincoln vinnacia
