Description

The Crate lounge sofa is part of HAY’s collection of wooden outdoor furniture. The sturdy Crate sofa is characterised by its clean and balanced lines, which give the lounge sofa an architectural and elegant look. The sofa pairs perfectly with the furniture in the Crate series, but also steals the spotlight as a companion to other patio furniture – try how the pine sofa would sit alongside HAY's classic Palissade range, for example!

The first Crate furniture was designed by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld in 1934. At that time, the furniture was made from leftover wooden shipping crates – hence the name of the collection. Today, Rietveld Originals and HAY use lacquered pine as the material. Finished with a weatherproof coating, the Crate lounge sofa is ideal for all kinds of outdoor spaces from the terrace to the garden and balcony.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (b. 1888) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect, born in Utrecht, Netherlands. He is especially known for his pioneering work in the field of modern design and is considered one of the most important designers of the 20th century. One of Rietveld's most famous works is the Red and Blue Chair, which he designed in 1917. The chair has a simple geometric design that reflects Rietveld's interest in abstraction and simplicity. The Red and Blue chair is still one of the masterpieces of modernist design and is exhibited in many museums around the world. In addition to furniture, Rietveld also designed several important buildings, including his own home, the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht.

Rietveld started his career as a carpenter but soon became interested in furniture design and architecture. He was a member of the De Stijl art movement, which sought to create a new, abstract art form that would reflect the modern world, and his work was heavily influenced by the main principles of this movement: simplicity, purity, and functionality.

Throughout his career, Rietveld remained committed to the principles of modernism as well as the use of new materials and technologies. His work continues to be influential today and is considered a cornerstone of modern design.
