The Rietveld Schröder House (in Utrecht) is characterised by straight lines and planes and by the colours red, yellow and blue, which combined with black lines and planes of grey and white form harmonious colour compositions. Rietveld (1888-1964) built this unique home in 1924 for and together with Mrs Schröder-Schräder, who lived there for the rest of her life. It is the only building to be executed in accordance with the architectural principles of the ‘De Stijl’ movement. Not only the architecture, but also the interior and the furniture are designed in this style and colour scheme.
