Gerrit Rietveld was a pioneer of modernism and set the first lasting accents of the new age with his “Red-Blue Chair” and the L40 pendant lamp – even before the Bauhaus was founded. Marcel Breuer, for example, initially saw himself significantly influenced by Rietveld before emancipating himself from his role model with his epoch-making tubular steel furniture. L40 was used in 1922 for the consulting room furnishings of the progressive Dr. Hartog.
Rietveld’s pioneering and, by the standards of the time, extremely audacious ceiling light consisted only of bare soffit tubes – suspended from their own mains cable.

DESIGNER
Gerrit Rietveld
“The first thought that came into my head when I began to review my personal relationship to Rietveld and the Schröder House was to avoid scuttlebutt as it was Rietveld’s reserved manner that I admired most. It seemed to me the only one truly becoming of an architect.” Rietveld touched only small things, each was given a life of its own, enriching the town (usually his home town) for its ordinary sake. But sometimes this resulted in an international sensation that touched the life of every man.
