Utrecht 637 Velvet Armchair in Burgundy by Rietveld

The Cassina 637 Utrecht Armchair, an iconic masterpiece of modern design by T. G. Rietveld from 1935 (first presented to the public in 1936), stands as a symbol of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary elegance. This particular piece is in like-new, unused condition and features a luxurious Bordeaux velvet upholstery—exceptionally soft, warm, and tactile—bringing a unique sensorial sophistication to any space. The sturdy steel frame, padded with high-density polyurethane foam and polyester wadding, offers superior comfort and refined aesthetics. The renowned Punto Cavallo contrast stitching, crafted in natural thread, highlights the armchair’s pure, geometric lines with distinctive elegance. Its anthracite non-slip felt feet are still protected by their original film, confirming the chair has never been used. The high-end Bordeaux velvet is characterized by a special combed finish with both A and B grain: depending on how the fabric is brushed, the shade subtly shifts, creating a dynamic visual effect that further enhances the Utrecht chair's iconic silhouette. Please note: only one armchair is available for sale at the advertised price.
