keel furniture
The Weekend Chair in true side elevation.
The Weekend Chair from seat height, three-quarter view.
The side elevation from the project's model of Rietveld's 1934 drawing. Every part is a 150 mm board cut square; the seat fall, the back rake, the seat nose and the height of the side board are estimates until a Weekend Chair is built and measured.

Weekend Chair in quarter-sawn ash

After Gerrit Rietveld's 1934 crate furniture: eighteen boards and two cleats, every cut square.

Gerrit Rietveld designed the crate furniture in 1934. Metz & Co advertised the line in 1935 as weekend furniture, which is where the name comes from.
