The exhibition Rietveld’s Universe points out that Utrecht architect
and designer Gerrit Th. Rietveld (1888-1964) designed much more than
only the classic Red-Blue chair and the famous Rietveld Schröder
House. Rietveld realized more than one hundred buildings and many
pieces of furniture.
The Centraal Museum places Rietveld’s work in a broad context. By
focusing attention on the person Rietveld and his manner of working
and by comparing him and his work with famous contemporaries like
Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, the creative genius of
Rietveld is set in a new light and a new image of Rietveld’s
contribution to 20th century architecture and design is presented. The
exhibition is realized in collaboration with the Netherlands
Architecture Institute NAI.
