Crate Side Table is part of the Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration, reproducing Gerrit Thomas Rietveld's 1934 Crate design as a side table suited to positioning alongside lounge chairs and sofas. Like all Crate pieces, the Side Table is built on the same construction logic — timber planks, exposed joints, and a transparent structure that makes the table's making immediately legible — maintained with full respect for the original's proportions and design philosophy.
The side table's compact scale makes it a practical companion piece within a broader Crate arrangement or as a standalone design object alongside other lounge seating. Its honest material character — untreated pine in the base version, with lacquered and painted options available — means it develops a natural patina with use over time in the untreated version, adding a further dimension of material authenticity to a design that is fundamentally about the honest use of simple materials.
The Crate Side Table is well suited to residential living rooms and lounge settings where a side table of significant design heritage and honest construction is the brief. It pairs naturally with the Crate Lounge Chair and the broader Crate collection, and its modest scale makes it an effective accent piece even in settings where the full Crate collection is not specified. The Rietveld provenance and the HAY production quality together make it a meaningful specification choice for design-literate residential and hospitality interiors. The Rietveld provenance gives the Side Table a cultural depth that makes it a meaningful addition to any interior where the story of individual pieces contributes to the space.
