MORE THAN AN ARMCHAIR
Experience the epitome of design sophistication with the RM58 Classic, a faithful reedition of the groundbreaking armchair envisioned by Roman Modzelewski. This iconic piece seamlessly combines the allure of Mid-Century design with contemporary innovation.
The RM58 Classic is more than a reedition; it's a fine example of Space Age design that transcends boundaries. Bridging the gap between new technological approaches and organic aesthetics, this armchair captures the essence of modern living while preserving the visionary spirit of its original 1958 design.
To ensure a flawless finish and enduring durability, the seat's surface is delicately coated with a color gelcoat. This meticulous detail not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also speaks to the commitment to providing a high-quality furniture that stands the test of time.
WORLD-CLASS INNOVATIVENESS
The RM58 Armchair, designed and meticulously crafted by Roman Modzelewski in 1958, stands as an early European masterpiece in the realm of polyester-glass laminate furniture. This groundbreaking approach, initially pioneered by Ray and Charles Eames in the USA, marked a paradigm shift in design and materials.
Modzelewski's innovation transcended the mere choice of materials. The unique, fully enclosed organic shape of the seat stood unparalleled in its time, distinguishing the RM58 Armchair not only within Poland but on a global stage.
