Pair of Utrecht Lounge Chairs by Gerrit Rietveld for Cassina

The Utrecht Chair is one of Gerrit Rietveld’s most recognizable designs, originally created in the 1930s and celebrated for its bold geometric form. This pair, produced by Cassina, highlights the distinctive balance between architecture and comfort that has made the design a lasting modern classic.

Defined by strong lines, angular armrests, and carefully proportioned volumes, the Utrecht Chair has an unmistakable presence. Despite its sculptural appearance, the fully upholstered construction softens the design and makes it surprisingly comfortable for everyday use.

This pair is upholstered in a dark grey wool-cotton fabric that complements the clean geometry of the chairs while maintaining a calm and versatile appearance. The low profile and generous proportions create a relaxed seating position suitable for both modern and traditional interiors.

Width is approximately 26 inches, depth around 35.2 inches, and height about 29.6 inches. Seat height is approximately 15.5 inches.

Condition is very good vintage. The upholstery shows minor signs of age and use, including light wear and small stains consistent with normal use over time. Overall, the chairs present well, and Cassina labels are present.

What we like most about these chairs is the contrast between their structured form and inviting comfort. They make a strong visual statement while remaining practical and comfortable pieces for everyday living.

As with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can look slightly different depending on the light. If you'd like more details, just let me know.
