Gerrit Rietveld's Military Chair is part of the Military furniture series Rietveld designed in 1923 for the Catholic Military Home in Utrecht. In this series, he used nuts and bolts for the first time instead of wooden dowels, and he developed a series of very solid designs. The military furniture, which is characterized by the use of square cross ties, is produced in various colors, whereby the tops are always painted in a contrasting color.
In addition to the Military chair, the Military stool and the Military table are also available. The Military series is available in various color combinations. The seats are made of oak veneered plywood that is painted whitewash, white, black or red. The frame whose ends are finished with a contrasting color is available in white, black or red or gray.
the chair was presumably made by Rietveld's chosen manufacturer Gerard van de Groenekan
