RM58 classic

It was one of the earliest Polish designs of polyester-glass laminate furniture, but its innovation was based not only on the materials used in its production. The fully-closed organic form of the seat is enthralling, and had no counterpart from that time, either in Poland or in the world. One of the earliest preserved RM58 (white) has been purchased for the permanent collection by Victoria and Albert Museum, London and displayed at the “Cold War Modern: Design 1945-1970” exhibition which was the first one to explore the works in modern design, architecture, film and pop culture developed in the context of the Cold War, on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The RM58 armchair, placed in the catalogue next to an armchair designed by Charles and Ray Eames provided considerable impetus for reflection upon the aspiration to modernity that connects artists, and is free from political divisions. After over half a century since its inception, the RM58 armchair made its ”re-debut”, this time as a piece of furniture prepared for serial production using new technologies and materials. Thanks to the rotational moulding technology the historical model of the armchair was reproduced and now is available in two versions: matt version with the seat made of polyethylene dyed in the cake and the classic version with the seat made of polyethylene varnished to a high gloss. Available in colours: red, black, white, yellow, green.
