Gerrit Rietveld, Red and Blue Chair, 1953, © Galerie Vivid, Rotterdam
In the exhibition a chair dating from 1953 and a reproduction are both shown. Placing the two directly together
raises questions about what constitutes an original and what makes it valuable.

Dutch designer Tejo Remy collected old drawers, gave each of them a new frame, and in 1991 built the first
“Chest of Drawers” out of them. An example of how to take the vintage idea further.

This new Oriental carpet develops the concept of vintage further. The carpet woven in Iran was given an
“antique finishing”, a process that consists of washing, burning away and shearing, in order to lend the carpet
a “used look”.
