Initially designed to make use of surplus wooden shipping crates by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld in 1934, the Crate Collection has been relaunched in a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. Made with respect for the original design, the Crate Dining Table shares the same precisely balanced proportions and transparent construction to minimise production costs and optimise the assembly process. Available in two different lengths, with a rectangular tabletop and diagonal crossbars, the table’s simplicity and spatial design mirrors the designer’s architectural principles – providing functionality and comfort without absorbing space. Crafted in solid pine, with a water-based lacquered finish in different colour options, the Crate Dining Table is suitable for a wealth of outdoor settings.
