Item Description
A true icon of modernist design, the Utrecht Sofa by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld—faithfully produced by Cassina—embodies the radical spirit of early 20th-century Dutch design. Originally conceived in 1935, this sculptural piece distills Rietveld’s avant-garde vision into a form that is both strikingly architectural and deeply inviting. Characterized by its angular geometry, block-like arms, and distinctive contrast stitching, the Utrecht sofa captures Rietveld’s belief that furniture should define space rather than merely occupy it. Its bold, asymmetric silhouette remains as contemporary today as when it was first introduced. This example, manufactured by Cassina under exclusive license, showcases the brand’s impeccable craftsmanship and respect for Rietveld’s original proportions. Upholstered in a rich wool-blend fabric in warm beige, it combines comfort with uncompromising design integrity. Perfect for collectors of Bauhaus, De Stijl, or mid-century modern pieces, the Utrecht Sofa serves as both a seating solution and a functional work of art—equally at home in refined residential interiors or curated design spaces.
