Olaf's Red and Blue chair

One of my blog readers from Quebec, Olaf, e-mailed me with some photos of his latest project the iconic Red and Blue chair, which he has been wanting to build since he was 5 years old! Here is part of what he wrote:

"I received the “Rietveld Meubels om zelf te maken” book today. The book is great, and I’m already planning a whole slew of things to make"

Olaf says he's not painting the Red and Blue in the original colors, but in a scheme of black, white, and grey. He's also planning on building the Rietveld Crate Chair, Zig Zag, Military Chair, and the Berlin Chair & Side Table in the future.

I've added a few pictures of chair being built. I look forward to seeing the final results!
