The film and book Rietveld's Chair tell the story of Gerrit Rietveld’s red-and-blue chair, as uncovered by art historian Marijke Kuper, who undertook to find out how the modernist icon was born and how it was viewed and used in its day.

Over the past seven years, Premsela has invited six speakers from outside the world of design to share their views on current developments in the field.

With his enchanting shop windows for De Bijenkorf, his practical Lotek lamp and his bold cotton carpets, Benno Premsela became known to the general Dutch public as an outstanding interior and industrial designer.

Benno Premsela also worked for the emancipation of gay men and women in an era when homosexuality was taboo. This book sketches the eventful life of a passionate person in a turbulent age.
