Initially designed way back in 1934 to make use of surplus wooden shipping crates by Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld, the iconic Crate collection has been relaunched in a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. The collection comprises a lounge chair, dining chair, low and side table, all made with respect for the original design, and sharing the same precisely balanced proportions and transparent construction to minimise production costs and optimise the assembly process.
The Crate collection is made of solid FSC-certified pine with a durable water-based lacquered finish suitable for outdoor use. The collection’s simplicity and spatial design reflect the designer’s architectural style – providing functionality and comfort without absorbing space.
