In 1951 Rietveld designed a retrospective exhibition about ''De Stijl'' which was held in Amsterdam, Venice and New York. Interest in his work revived as a result. In subsequent years he was given many commissions, including the Dutch pavilion for the [[Venice Biennale]] (1953), the art academies in Amsterdam and Arnhem, and the press room for the [[UNESCO]] building in Paris. Designed for the display of small sculptures at the Third International Sculpture Exhibition in Arnhem's Sonsbeek Park in 1955, Rietveld's 'Sonsbeek Pavilion' was rebuilt at the [[Kröller-Müller Museum]] in 1965.<ref>[http://www.kmm.nl/statue-garden?lang=en Sculpture Garden at the Kröller Müller Museum] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911234408/http://www.kmm.nl/statue-garden?lang=en |date=11 September 2014 }}</ref> Due to irreparable damages caused by regular decay, it was once again rebuilt, this time with new materials, in 2010. In order to handle all these projects, in 1961 Rietveld set up a partnership with the architects Johan van Dillen and J. van Tricht built hundreds of homes, many of them in the city of Utrecht.<ref name="vangoghmuseum"/>

His work was neglected when rationalism came into vogue, but he later benefited from a revival of the style of the 1920s thirty years later.<ref name="autogenerated237"/>
