Rietveld Furniture

[grafter]

Hi all

Does anybody have plans for this chair? - it has been published - " How to Construct Rietveld Furniture by Peter Drijver" but I am unable to find this in the UK?


Thanks

erm I'd say you have everything you need in that pic.

that's an uber simple construction

yeah I just wanted sizes really - and which size timber is it made from?
4x1"??

How wide do you want the seat to be?

Take that answer, subtract an inch and divide by 3.........there's your timber size.

My eyes are telling me they're about 5"/125mm wide.

However, working from Mike's calculation (450mm - 25mm / 3), that would work out at 141.6mm, which would suggest 6"/150mm sawn stock. Although, you may want to play around with the spacings between each board.

thanks for the replies - I will give a shot from the drawing

I have no idea whether it is drawn exactly right but you could take a look at this if you have SketchUp.

I quite like this. I might allow it space on the tuit list

thanks for the sketch up drawing - just the ticket
