Rare and original Gerrit Rietveld “tz77” coffee table for ‘t Spectrum, 1968.
During the WW II years, Gerrit Rietveld was appointed to the collection assessment committee of ‘t Spectrum. Here he designed some pieces of furniture for the company. Also this coffee table was designed by Rietveld for ‘t Spectrum.
This table, designed in the 1950s by the way, is a beautiful example of a typical Rietveld design due to its “simplicity”, use of straight lines and modern appearance. It was only produced between 1968 and 1970 and came in three sizes. This is the biggest one.
It needed to be restored and repainted completely because it was in a very bad condition. Due to the restoration, the table is now in mint condition. Made of painted wood.
Note: So this coffee table is not a modern re-edition but an official edition from the period! Signed.
H x W x D = 34 x 112 x 84 cm / 13.4 x 44.1 x 33.1 inch
