The Zwaan armchair by Gerrit Rietveld, designed in 1958, is one of his most elegant furniture pieces. The chair was originally designed for the World Expo in Brussels and later found its place in the press room of UNESCO's headquarters in Paris.

Rietveld's work is often defined by clean geometry and a distinct De Stijl signature and the Zwaan continues that tradition with sharp Z-shaped armrests and a striking form. The plush seat and upholstery contrast giving the design a sculptural silhouette in which functionality and aesthetics merge naturally.
