The Utrecht armchair was designed in 1935 and has been exclusively produced by Cassina since 1988 and now for the upcoming Salone del Mobile 2016, the artist Bertjan Pot has designed a bespoke textile in three jacquard versions for the Utrecht armchair giving a contemporary twist to this icon by Gerrit T. Rietveld.
The architecture of the armchair is reflected in the innovative workmanship of the Boxblocks fabric which is made up of 8 coloured threads mixed 2 at a time to create 19 different colours on a template which outlines the shape of the armchair. A homage to Dutch creativity, each unique Boxblocks version fits 90 limited edition pieces like a tailor-made dress, for a total of 270 models, which are progressively numbered to guarantee the Cassina mark of authenticity.
