Steel Rietveld

At St Andrews I wrote my Art History dissertation on Marcel Breuer and Gerrit Rietveld and more specifically Breuer's 1925 Wassily chair, which was the first to use tubular steel, and Rietveld's 1917 red/blue lounge, which many consider to be the first truly 'modern' chair.
For this chair I took the best of both designers and created a childs version of the 1917 lounge from square-tube steel.
