Our story of Gerrick
Gerrit is the Dutch form of Gerard, and one Gerrit changed how the world thinks about furniture: Gerrit Rietveld, a cabinetmaker's son from Utrecht, built a chair from straight wooden planks and painted it red, blue, yellow and black, and it became one of the icons of modern design. Gerrick has no recorded tie to him, but it carries the same hard g and the same firm shape, a name built as squarely as that chair.
