The Crate lounge chair was originally designed by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld in 1934.
The idea was to reuse the extra wooden shipping crates. Today, the Crate collection is relaunched as part of a collaboration between Rietveld Originals and HAY. The current version is manufactured respecting the original design. The "Crate Lounge Chair" shares the same balanced proportions and seamless construction to minimize production costs and optimize the assembly process.
This lounge chair is characterized by a simple and functional design that takes up little space. It is made of solid pine, with a water-based lacquer finish in different color options. Crate is suitable for a multitude of indoor or outdoor environments.
