This act led to the emblematic Cassina iMaestri collection.

Some of the products in this collection.

2. Utrecht by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld

Utrecht

The juxtaposition of right angles ‒ backrest and seat that meet at the floor and armrests that morph into support pieces ‒ are hallmark features of the Utrecht armchair, which became a symbol of the Neoplastic movement.
