From 1935 this was produced with somewhat differing proportions, connections, and surface treatments by both Rietveld’s master cabinetmaker and Metz & Co., in great numbers up until the fifties. The model shown here stems from such a production in the thirties. The producer of today’s version of the “Zig-Zag” is the Cassina Company which purchased the rights to manufacture all of Rietveld’s furniture designs in 1971. Rietveld used the “Zig-Zag” together with a matching table in many of his later interiors and also created an armchair version with and without a perforated back, as well as a “Zig-Zag” children’s highchair.
