Garden Chairs

Rietveld-inpsired Garden Chair

Garden Chair in Sage Green

Bring a classic shape, perfectly designed, to your garden.

Our Garden Chair

The Garden Chair is a re-design of an iconic Rietveld Chair. Gerhardt Rietveld, a Dutch architect, designed the original chair in 1918. One of these sits on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. For chair aficionados, our version is both more comfortable and more sturdy.

Our chair is more upright than the Rietveld, creating those comfortable angles for back, butt and knees. The legs and struts are attached to each other by notching the pieces to fit into each other; critical joins are also doweled. Although screws are used, no screw heads show on top of the wood. This feature protects the wood from water, rot, and eventualy wobbliness.

Construction Detail

Like the Westport, Lodge, and the Adirondack, this chair is perfect for outdoor use (although you certainly can use them indoors). They complement gardens, porches, balconies, docks... you choose.

The simple, yet effective alterations have maintained the look and feel of the original, beautiful, innovative Rietveld Chair. The clean lines suit both modern and historic gardens, not to mention breezy porches, spacious sunrooms, and welcoming gazebos.

Footstool in Slate Blue

Many sitters benefit from a footstool. These offer suberb relaxation for the leg, turning an already natural seat into a natural recliner. Choose a footstool color to match or to complement your chairs.
