iconic lounge chair is one of the most well known designs from the De Stijl art movement and one
of the first 3D pieces done in the style. The colours were added in 1923. It
was influenced by the artwork of Piet Mondrian, as it is made up of straight
lines and only uses black and the three primary colours: blue, red and yellow.
It is shown in the permanent collection at MoMA. A
white version was also made. A self assembly kit for one is now available so
you can make your own.
