Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld's Steltman chair is furniture as sculpture. Originally designed in 1963 for the Steltman Jewelry Store, now recreated to be used outdoors (or indoor if you"d like). The chair is an intriguing asymmetrical design inspired by the De Stjil art, architecture and design movement. Matching size and proportions of Rietveld's original design and made to order in USA from solid clear western red cedar with hidden dowel joinery. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, and weathers to a nice light gray over time. If preferred, you can always finish with a transparent stain to your liking. less
