About this vintage design furniture

Low crate table 1 designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld in 1934 and made by Cassina in the eighties. Marked and numbered: Cassina, Meubelmakerij Rietveld, Adriaan van Ostadelaan 25, no. 40 (low number!). In 1934, Rietveld started experimenting with furniture made from wood that was used to make crates. Rietveld reasoned that furniture for transport was always packed in crates, which apparently consisted of stronger material than the furniture itself. So why not use that material to make a piece of furniture. This is how the first crate furniture was created. The standard dimensions of the crate of wood quoted, as it were, the composition of the furniture. Material: Beech wood. Dimensions: h x n x d = 45 x 46.5 x 46.7 cm. The condition is good (the construction is still excellent) with normal traces of use and wear (see photos). The price is only for the table, not the chair.
