FA 2025 | Living in a piece of furniture: Gerrit Rietveld’s houses

The personal and professional affection between the patron Truus Schröder-Schräder and the Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld led to the creation of the Rietveld and Schröder House in 1924, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.

The documentary is a cross-section of the work of this iconic designer, a member of the De Stijl art movement, with special attention to the first realisation. The house was a great experiment born out of mutual inspiration and close collaboration between the two partners, and Rietveld subsequently applied the principles used here to his other works.
