VZOR

The RM58 armchair was the first item in the Roman Modzelewski collection implemented by VZOR. The chair is a modern version of the groundbreaking armchair designed by Roman Modzelewski. Handmade in 1958, it was one of the earliest European examples of polyester-glass laminate furniture, but its innovativeness lay not only in the materials used in its production. The fully-closed organic form of the seat had no counterpart in its time, either in Poland or elsewhere.

One of the earliest surviving prototypes (in white) was purchased for the permanent design collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The use of new materials and industrial technologies in the production of the RM58 armchair makes it possible to overcome the constraints of craft manufacturing and to offer a product of consistently high quality at an accessible price.

The RM58 Matte version, produced in polyethylene, provides a new aesthetic appeal in a variety of modern colours specially chosen in consultation with the patent holder, Roman Modzelewski’s widow, Wera Modzelewska.

Aside from its new aesthetic quality, this version is also suitable for outdoor use when used with the optional, specially treated legs.

The steel legs, powder coated in matte black as standard, can also be offered in custom colours at an additional cost.

Available EXCLUSIVELY from P4.
