The famous red and blue chair by Gerrit Rietveld: re-designed.  First I copied the original chair out of wood to learn about the construction and connections of the piece.

Then the aim was to give a new spin to the famous chair. I decided to build it out of new sustainable materials, to explore the possibilities of it. For this project I combined hemp and magnesium for the beams and plates. I reinforced them with bamboo beams and strips.  the connections are not glued, but connected by smaller bamboo pieces and tied with hemp rope. This way i didn’t have to add any chemical materials and is the piece completely recyclable.
