keel furniture
The Weekender from seat height, three-quarter view.

Weekender

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.
