Steltman chair

Gerrit Rietveld designed his last chair, the Steltman chair, for jeweller Steltman’s shop at the age of 75. With this design, he once again proved his status as a pioneering designer.///Description
The chair owes its name to the The Hague jeweller and royal purveyor Steltman who commissioned Rietveld in 1963 to rebuild and furnish his shop at Noordeinde in The Hague. The original Steltman chairs were upholstered in white artificial leather. The wooden version, which was only built after Rietveld’s death in 1964, is now better known than the original artificial leather upholstery.
