The Utrecht chair is one of the most recognizable designs of early modernism and remains a landmark piece in 20th-century furniture design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eOriginally designed for Metz \u0026amp; Co in Amsterdam, the chair reflects Rietveld’s constructivist approach to form and structure. Instead of traditional visible legs, the chair is built as a low, self-supporting upholstered volume where the seat and arms form a continuous geometric shape. The result is a strong architectural silhouette that remains surprisingly comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003eThis pair is upholstered in melange green wool fabric, Kvadrat “Divina Melange 2”, which enhances the graphic lines of the design while adding softness and depth to the surface. The textured wool brings a contemporary expression to the iconic form while respecting its original design language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eEach chair is built on a steel frame with polyurethane foam and polyester padding. The upholstery is tailored in clean sections, emphasizing the sharp geometry of the design. Cassina maker’s labels are present, confirming production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003eHeight is approximately 27.6 inches, seat height around 15 inches, width about 25.2 inches, and depth approximately 33.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1956\"\u003eCondition is good used vintage. The chairs show wear consistent with age and use. Overall they present well and remain structurally solid and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1958\" data-end=\"2145\"\u003eWhat works well here is the strong architectural presence combined with comfort. It is a design that works both as a functional lounge chair and as a sculptural statement piece in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2147\" data-end=\"2327\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAs with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story.
