A zig zag chair designed by Gerrit reitveld

A beautiful example of this design. Reitveld would probably have approved of the stain too. Nice one.

-- keeping myself entertained

Very nice.
I like the box joints in the back.
The hand hold on the back is a great idea too.
I made a similar chair that is holding up well.

Beautiful but I’d be scared to sit in it if I saw it in the wild.

-- Wood is not velveeta

Cool project. Very well done.

I like the stain color. Is the wood red oak?

-- JohnnyB - - Sometimes determination can substitute for skill.

Yes the woodused in the project was red oak. The stain was made by boiling six tea bags in about two litres of water. It got boiled until there was about 1 1/2 cups remaining. I discarded the bags and stain was ready to go.

Of course is great, do you have any plans t o build the famous blue-red chair?, That’s super cool too!

I have made a Red-Blue chair(and Military Stool) using plans from the book How to Construct Rietveld Furniture. Seeing Bluemax’s Zig-Zag Chair has inspired me to post a picture on the Projects page.

Nice design,even beter project

-- Ivan, Croatia, Wooddicted

That is way too cool. So you say it won’t hold together? Pity. Any bracing would ruin that look.
