Well known architect and carpenter Gerrit Rietveld was born in Utrecht. His masterpiece and Unesco Heritage Site the Rietveld House attracts many architecture lovers and tourists to Utrecht every year. Therefore it seemed a good idea to offer the honourable mister Mario de Marco a replica of Rietveld's iconic Red and Blue Chair.
It was a nice surprise to discover that Rietveld inspired Chris Briffa to design a Red and Blue Shelf. It was shown at the Malta Design Week. Off course the people from Utrecht immediately recognized it!
In this way the Utrecht icon is well known in Malta too.
