The Press Room Chair was designed in 1958 by Gerrit Rietveld for the UNESCO building in Paris. Rietveld designed the armchair as a comfortable lounge chair at the reading table for journalists in the press room. The original designs, drawings and models have been preserved, so the Press Room Chair could be re-released in 2014.
