Study on the Connotation of Holistic Design Associated with De Stiji Architecture and Furniture

A study reveals the intrinsic correlation between furniture and architecture in the Rietveld Schröder House, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, a master of De Stijl. The research finds that the architectural space is constructed based on 'architectural furniture' design vocabulary, while the furniture itself exhibits characteristics of 'furniture building.' By analyzing structural systems rooted in scaffolding principles, spatial ratios derived from golden segmentation, and color systems utilizing primary colors, the study elucidates how these elements integrate seamlessly within the Schröder House. This holistic approach underscores Rietveld's design philosophy and its impact on De Stijl architecture.
