5.0 out of 5 stars Rietveld Furniture review
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2010
Verified Purchase
First, this book is written in both Dutch and English. Don't let the 'Dutch Edition'description put you off. The measured drawings are in millimeters and there is enough information to accurately build the furniture.

If you're used to building craftsman furniture, some of these pieces may seem minimalist and stark. If you give it a second look you'll find some absolutely beautiful pieces. The construction appears to be time consuming, but not all that difficult.

For some of the pieces (the 'Z' chair in particular) I would be sorely tempted to add modern materials, i.e. some Kevlar in the acute angles. Kevlar deals well with cycles of compression and expansion.

This furniture is a refreshing change from anything I've seen featured in U.S. woodworking magazines. It's different, it's lovely to look at (several pieces are displayed at MOMA in New York) and it doesn't look too challenging to build.

Don't let the Dutch language stop you, it is in English also although only metric dimensions. Clear drawings and great information. Highly recommended especially for new woodworkers as successful projects are almost guaranteed.

5.0 out of 5 stars REITVELD FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2010
Verified Purchase
This book (written in English and Dutch) is a great resource if you want to create Reitveld furniture and accessories. The drawings and instructions for over three dozen pieces are easily understood by anyone with well-developed woodworking skills. This work is not for beginners because fit & finish are of utmost importance in Reitveld designs-- and it takes time to develop the experience necessary to achieve good results. Most of these pieces can be built without power tools; but electric saws, drills, sanders, and a router will make the work faster and more uniform. If your paint skills are not up to par you should have someone available to execute this very important aspect of the work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really neat and worthless projects
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
If you are into Rietveld and Modernist things, this is a great resource. Of course, the end product is almost purely worthless since they cannot be marketed (copyright still applies), sometimes involving a fair amount of effort, and are generally uncomfortable and a little fragile, but as objects, they are fantastic and great fun.

Would like to find a comparable book on the work of Max Bill.

Those furnitures were designed one hundred years ago and they are modern today. This book shows the drawings and construction methods for dozen of Rietveld furnitures , including red and blue chair and zigzag chair , which I intend to build soon.

Ich kannte das Buch nicht, hab es einfach mal bestellt. Nach dem Auspacken war das Staunen groß. Und dauerte sehr lange. Es ist ein fantastisches Buch. Man kann damit gut und instruktiv die 100 Jahre zurück bis zur Entstehung der Rietvield Designs reisen und danach mit etwas Phantasie nochmal 100 Jahre voraus, in eine Zeit, in der wir davon inspiriertes Design vielleicht mehr in unserem Alltag wiederfinden werden.
