Celebrating the centennial of one of the most iconic houses in architecture history and the dynamic partnership between Rietveld and Schröder, portraying them as an architect-duo. Book designed by Irma Boom - Published to accompany the anniversary of the iconic Rietveld Schröderhuis in 2024-2025. The centennial marks a pivotal moment in architectural history. To honor this milestone, the Centraal Museum Utrecht is set to host a remarkable exhibition throughout 2025 "Truus Schröder. I love you, Rietveld." In 1924, Truus Schröder asked well-known Utrecht furniture designer Gerrit Rietveld to design a new house for her. Never before Rietveld had been asked to design an entire house. Truus Schröder knew exactly what she wanted: simplicity and a space that freed rather than constrained her. It was a match made in heaven. This book highlights the dynamic partnership between Rietveld and Schröder, portraying them as an architect-duo. Schröder's significant contributions to the design process are illuminated, emphasizing her indispensable role in shaping their collaborative vision. It draws its essence from newly unpublished correspondences between Gerrit Rietveld and Truus Schröder, shedding fresh light on her life and legacy. Image (c) Rietveld Schröder House
