The personal and professional affection between patron Truus Schröder-Schräder and Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld led to the creation of the Rietveld Schröder House in 1924, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. The documentary Living in a Piece of Furniture is a cross-section of the work of this iconic designer, a member of the De Stijl art movement, with special attention paid to the aforementioned first realisation. The house was a great experiment born of mutual inspiration and close collaboration between the two partners, and Rietveld subsequently used the principles employed here in his other works.
