Concept

One of the original armchairs was purchased by London’s Victoria & Albert Museum for its world design collection. The armchair was presented by V&A at its exhibition “Cold War Modern: Design 1945-1970” devoted to modern design, architecture, film and pop culture created during the Cold War on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The armchair was also among the items at the exhibition of the National Museum in Warsaw entitled “We Want to Be Modern. Polish Design 1955-1968” which presented Polish design icons. Two original RM58 armchairs are also part of the permanent collection of the Modern Design Centre of the National Museum in Warsaw.
