Originally designed in 1934 to make use of surplus wooden shipping crates, the Crate Collection has been relaunched in a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. Made with respect for the original design, the Crate Lounge Chair shares the same precisely balanced proportions and transparent construction to minimise production costs and optimise the assembly process.

Featuring a gently sloping back and armrests, the lounge chair’s simplicity and spatial design mirrors the designer’s architectural style – providing functionality and comfort without absorbing space. It is crafted in solid pine with a water-based lacquered finish in several colour options, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor settings. For extra comfort, it can be supplemented with optional seat cushions in selected textiles. The Crate Collection also offers other types of seating and tables.
