Legacy
Rietvelds Rood-blauwe stoel wordt door onder meer de kunsthistoricus Siegfried Giedion gezien als compleet nieuw. Latere kunsthistorici zijn echter van mening dat de stoel vergelijkbaar is met eerder werk van Frank Lloyd Wright, Hendrik Petrus Berlage, Piet Klaarhamer en anderen. Rietveld werd immers door J.N. Verloop, die in 1914 Robert van 't Hoff opdracht gaf een bungalow in Huis ter Heide te ontwerpen, gevraagd copieën van Wrights meubels te maken. Dit was echter nadat hij zijn Rood-blauwe stoel had ontworpen. Een andere kunsthistoricus, Frampton, vindt dat de Rietvelds vroege werk kenmerkende kruisende steunen (de zogenaamde Cartesiaanse knoop) ‘een open architectonisch effect tonen en apert vrij zijn van invloeden van Wright’.
