RM58 CLASSICDesigned in 1958 by Roman ModzelewskiIndustrially produced for the first time since 2012After over half a century since its inception, the RM58 armchair made its ”re–debut” in a matte finish. Thanks to rotational molding technology, the historical model of the armchair has been reproduced and is now available in a version with a seat made of colored polyethylene. Aside from its new aesthetic quality, this version is also suitable for outdoor use.The RM58 armchair is the first product in the brand’s portfolio. It has not been put into serial production for 50 years (since the date of design, 1958). Practically, until 2012, hardly anyone knew about it. Discovered for a wider audience by Professor Krystyna Łuczak-Surówka, it has become a regular point of lectures on the history of design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. It was there that Jakub Sobiepanek, co-founder of the Vzor brand, heard about the RM58. He decided to implement it into serial production, which, as we now know, has been super successful.Interestingly, the RM58 was not included in studies on Polish design until the early 2000s, and in the last 10 years, it has turned into the most important Polish design piece or a symbol of Polish design itself.The iconic character of Vzor products can be proved by several facts. The fact that they are in museums is a fact. Presence in films from the era of the creation of the projects is next. The third fact is that few people who asked about the creation of the design concept of Vzor products could confidently predict the year of design in the 1950s or 1960s without knowing their history. These are forms that do not age and can confidently compete with the best world design. They didn’t stand a chance in the years they were designed. The Vzor brand gives them this chance now.
