Bonhams Sale 17296 – Art & Antiques, 20 Oct 2009, Oxford Estimate: £200 – 300

And thanks to my visit to La Suite I now can share my own photos of a black leather with white stitches Utrecht or Metz Armchair by Dutch architect and furniture designer Gerrit Rietveld with you. It is much smaller than I had imagined. I love it!
